A LARGE (94-gram), translucent green tourmaline crystal from Mozambique, out of the Elling Collection. This crystal is doubly-terminated - the end that once was the "broken off" end has formed microfaces, indicating that the crystal broke off in the pocket and was able to "heal" on the broken end (where there is actually a bit of BLUE color) .
