A cluster of tourmaline crystals, tightly intergrown and all terminated separately, out of the collection of the venerable Fred Pough. All the terminations are complete save one that is tallest and evidently contacted the pocket wall. In very strong light you can see that these are actually gemmy, but the color is a very dark green. This is an old piece out of the Saurs Mine in Gouvernador Valadares.
