These new fancy-tipped tourmalines, reminiscent of Pech material, are in fact new from Coronel Murta. A small pocket yielded perhaps a dozen crystals of such quality, with lustrous terminations and superb luster and transparency as you see here. This is the only cluster I saw, as the others were singles. They blew people away, at the show. The top zone has a rich yellow color just under the cap, as do parts of the core. Better and more obvious in person...this is truly a stunning crystal! It is pristine and complete save one small contact in the back. 8.5 x 4.75 (longest overall dimension) x 3 cm
