Item Description

A fine matrix example of a 3.1 cm, gemmy and lustrous, pretty bottle-green tourmaline aesthetically set in the side of a pristine, floater quartz crystal. The flashy purple lepidolites are a super accent. The frosted pyramidal termination on the tourmaline has slight edgewear, but is certainly not a detraction visually, unless on very close inspection. A very sharp combo specimen, overall!
