This is a bizarre specimen! It is a nearly (95%) complete replacement by sparkling lepidolite of a tourmaline, a giant tourmaline section, at that. It weighs about 660 grams. Big, weird, and pretty, if not particularly elegant I admit. I have seen such in small crystals from the County, but nothing this size before
