It is nothing special to see a tourmaline-included quartz crystal from Brazil, but this is a SWISS one, and therefore is a whole different animal! This crystal is shot through with sharp, slender black needle crystals of schorl tourmaline. The quartz is complete, with the back and bottom being natural contact faces. Ex. Hauck Collection.
