Two elegant, pastel pink crystals splay out form a cluster of pale purple lepidolite and white albite clusters. The tourmalines are 7.5 and 7.75 cm in length, and about 1.5 cm across at the terminations (the larger cluster of two tourmalines is actually 2.5 x 1.7 cm at the termination). This elegant specimen is completely viewable 360 degrees around and is totally pristine and free of repairs - remarkable for a specimen so exposed in the pocket. The colors are muted and pastel, both of the tourmaline and lepidolite.
