Item Description
Balls of pearlescent, muscovite blades nearly totally enshroud a cluster of lustrous, very dark purple tourmaline crystals on this showy, older piece from Brazil. The tips at the tops were contacted against the pocket wall, but this remains a nifty combination piece from the famous pegmatites of Minas Gerais. Ex Jaime Bird Collection.
