This would be a very fine and large gem tourmaline crystal even without the distinction of having another one intergrown right at the termination! The crystal weighs 34 grams. It is mostly green, but has strips of pink along two "corners" (it is roughly tri-sided), and at one termination. At this pink termination, there is a smaller crystal growing - the termination of the big crystal grew right around it - and miraculously, BOTH terminations of the big crystal and one on the small crystal are intact! So they managed to get this specimen out with three of its 4 terminations. What a cool piece!
