An UNUSUALLY GEMMY Himalaya tourmaline on matrix, surrounded by blades of snowy white albite intergrown with pretty lavender books of lepidolite. These three minerals had the serendipity to grow together in an unusually attractive combination on a vein of feldspar, and the miner was actually able to extract it with both terminations of the tourmaline intact! The tourmaline measures 3 cm.
