Tourmaline on Quartz
Quartz matrix hosts an intense crystal with HOT PINK color, just flaming bright and more "neon" than Himalaya Mine produced by a slight bit. Atop, it is capped by a clear zone topped by several millimeters of intense purple zoning (when viewed from the side). The tourmaline has extraordinary glassy luster and is complete all around! The quartz matrix is actually a crystal fragment, even if broken on most faces, and serves as a nice contrasting pedestal. This is old material, and crystals with such color saturation are hard to obtain today. From the well-known tourmaline collection of Klaus Neumann. Also, this was formerly in the F John Barlow Collection (dispersed in 1998) .Joe Budd Photos
