From the stunning "Rocket Pocket" of the early 2000's this is an unrepaired and elegant cluster of gem tourmalines. The gemminess and transparency are first tier, and the color saturation is as high as these got. The major crystal has no damage and is complete all around, with one of the sharpest terminations you can ask for. The sidecar crystal supporting it terminates into the larger one as it crosses, though with a very slight contact or bit of damage on the small exposed termination that isn't included inside the larger. Few pieces in this size range are anything but singles, or big matrix with small crystals. This is a rather unusual style and the crystal is of such high quality it literally glows in a case even with only minimal backlighting.
