A really interesting specimen with 8 separate crystals of classic multicolored Stak Nala tourmaline jutting out perpendicular to the plane of the big quartz crystal. You just do not see large matrix specimens from here at all - most are floaters and in any case smaller in size. This piece, thus, is really quite unique in appearance. The tourmalines are extremely glassy and more colorful in person. They are mostly undamaged, save for the smallest which is broken off and the rightmost cluster which has one clean repair. Very unusual for the find (early 1990s). 11.6 x 8.2 x 6.1 cm
