This specimen hosts some of the most vivid red, lustrous, beautiful tourmalines I have yet seen from Burma for the style ("mushrooms"). They really ARE this juicy, in person. Maybe more so. What is amazing to me is that they drape over a euhedral large feldpsar crystal and so you get a most unusual contrast. I have not seen such a nice association piece of this combo from here, before. The piece just glows, when in a showcase....again, it is somewhat MORE colorful, even, in person. I would rank it as one of the better matrix mushroom tourmalines I have seen for the aesthetics, even though individually the tourmalines are not so large
