A breathtaking cluster of Bi Colour Tourmaline Crystals, magnificently grown in all directions on Lepidolite matrix. Every single crystal on this specimen is almost complete and of high aesthetic quality, shows perfect termination and stunning open colours, that artistically ranges from greenish to pink. The crystals of Tourmaline are different in size, brilliantly protrudes in different directions from beautiful landscape shape on Lepidolite matrix. There is not a much of a drastic contrast between the Tourmalines cluster and Lepidolite matrix, hence making it a highly vivid specimen of strong composition, great balance and pure text book aesthetics. Some are translucent, some have a gemmy, intensively pink core. The overall aesthetics is somewhat chaotic but rich with very nice Tourmalines of high quality!
