A treelike, good-sized tourmaline crystal with a glistening, shimmering exterior surface that looks almost as if it was composed of fibers, and not the usual solidified crystal you expect to see in a tourmaline. Unusual old material, though not from a specific mine name I can attribute to it. In person the color is a dark green-blue hue. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
