A very rare MATRIX specimen from the famous Naylor Rock locality for indicolite! There is one very clean repair at the base of the large tourmaline on top (I only know because Chuck says so - I did not catch it, its so clean, otherwise). Few matrix specimens from here have been found over the years, and they are highly treasured by County collectors who trade them amongst themselves like Mickey Mantles.
