An elegant cluster of three splayed crystals with a small doubly-terminated quartz on one side. Note the extremely sharp, well developed, bipyramidal termination on all crystals! The terminations have a complex pinacoid termination at the very top mm of each bipyramidal termination - very RARE in tourmaline! The transparency in the green zones of the crystal is total - you can read right through them! This piece, like the others, just GLOWS with color and is really quite stunning and different from any of the more typical Pech tourmalines you may have seen before.
