Item Description
A gorgeous, gem, 3.4 cm, teal-blue, indicolite tourmaline crystal is dramatically set in a striking FLOATER cluster of glassy, frosted quartz crystals. The complexly terminated elbaite is pristine. Some of the quartz crystals in the lower half of the piece are doubly terminated. The back looks great with the well-defined quartz crystals. Complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only barely noticeable edge wear to both edges of the top quartz crystal. This superb, complete all-around floater from Mawi has amazing sculptural quality highlighted by the indicolite. Valued at $2000-2250 for beauty, rarity and combination quality.
