A fine and classic, polychrome tourmaline crystal cluster from Stak Nala, Pakistan. The tourmalines have gorgeous, highly desirable, gemmy pink tips grading downward to black to gemmy green and blue, at the base. The large crystal is partially doubly terminated. The rest of the base is contacted by cleavelandite. The tourmaline cluster is aesthetically wrapped in bladed cleavelandite and nicely accented with a couple of glassy, colorless, sharply terminated quartz crystals. Excellent, older material from the 1980s finds.
