Crystals of green tourmaline shooting through a gemmy crystal of quartz like swords through a stone! When these come out, the tourmalines are usually bashed up pretty badly, but these are in unusually good shape. There are even some complete terminations, which is not common since the terminations cannot usually be preserved when these are taken out. The tourmalines are cutter-quality gem material, the longest measuring almost 4 cm, with one of its terminations intact! A very dramatic specimen!
