An elegant cluster of three major splayed crystals with two sidecars behind or adjacent to them. It also has a small doubly-terminated quartz perched on one termination (that termination, which looks basally truncated, is indeed so by growth contact and is not damage at all). Note the extremely sharp, well developed, prismatic terminations on all crystals save the shortest! The transparency in the green zones of the crystal is total - you can read right through them! This piece, like the others, just GLOWS with color and is really quite stunning and different from any of the more typical Pech tourmalines you may have seen before. This is the largest cluster I saw, that had survived in good shape.
