A very unusual tourmaline crystal from the Safira Mine in Brazil. This large crystal grew to a certain point, then formed most of a termination - but part of the crystal kept growing another 3.5 cm. So, you have what looks like one crystal growing out of another one. The bottom, thicker part has a pink core wrapped by bottle green. The top part is translucent bottle green. An old piece, with a J.C. Filer label.
