This is a complete, terminated, gemmy crystal of tourmaline whose back side is completely blanketed in tan lepidolite crystals, which wrap around the sides so that they frame the crystal as you view it in front! This is an old-timer from Cruzeiro, and really unique-looking with these lepidolites. Weighs 26 grams. Collection of French dealer in Brazilian minerals, Michel Jactat.
