An unusual cluster featuring a very translucent tourmaline poking out of a mass of tourmaline and lepidolite. Also rising up in tandem is a lepidolite crystal (a real crystal, not just massive material). The mass of tourmaline, and the tourmaline attached to the lepidolite, is damaged but colorful. The main, centerpiece tourmaline is pristine, stands 2 cm tall and has a very intense blue cap.
