This is NOT just a normal, average quality piece from the locality. A truly elegant cluster with a main tourmaline of the classic Paprok style, but with a more elegant look to the piece than you usually see in matrix specimens of this size. It has a nice balance with a small bit of matrix, and accent crystals. It has a wonderful, bright red cap. It is pristine and complete all around. In person, even more colorful to my eye in room lighting (fluorescent), than under the standard sunlight halogens we use for photography. Joe Budd Photos. From the longtime Collection of Frank Imbriacco, recently dispersed.
