A striking cluster of saturated pink tourmaline with dark blue terminations on a crystalline matrix of lepidolite books and blades of albite. Smaller tourmalines are intergrown all around the specimen, which sparkles under light. There is great luster all around and nice translucency on the tourmalines. I note some minor damage with a few broken tourmalines and albite blades that does not detract from this well crystallized pegmatite specimen. There are two simple fit repairs, with no restoration.
