This large combination piece of quartz and several bi-colored tourmalines weighs 773 grams. It features two tourmalines to 5 cm each, one with its tip embedded in a quartz (you can see inside the quartz to view it); and one with a freestanding prismatic termination. The contrast of terminations is interesting. Mined in 2006, this was from the end of the modern Pederneira workings.
