A magnificent display of a perfect gem clean Tourmaline crystal on a beautiful single Quartz crystal from the Blue/Green Pocket from the legendary Pederneira Mine, in Minas Gerais, Brazil. I believe there is one repair towards the base of the Tourmaline crystal but is visually unnoticeable. The quality and aesthetics of this specimen stand out to me from many specimens of this find.
