A beautiful combination specimen showing translucent lustrous purplish red terminated crystals of tourmaline measuring to 5.5 cm in length coming off of a citrine gem lustrous quartz crystal. This is in great condition. The collection catalog referred to this as liddicoatite. I have not had the piece analyzed to confirm this.
