A large and colorful combination piece that is admittedly more notable for the quartz, and the combination itself, than for the quality of the tourmaline. It is interesting, with several styles of tourmaline embedded on a really sparkling, lustrous cluster of quartz (but the termination of the longer tourmaline is damaged, on close inspection). The quartz cluster itself is actually quite nice in person, very 3-dimensional and with a variety of crystal habits present on the one specimen.
