Tourmaline in Quartz

Item Description

This large combination piece of quartz and several bicolored tourmalines is 773 grams, of good size. It features two tourmalines to 5 cm each, one with its tip embedded in a quartz (you can see inside the quartz to view it!); and one with a freestanding prismatic termination. The contrast of terminations is interesting. Although dark in the photos, this has more life to it in person. It is very 3-dimensional. Despite some contacting at edges, the quartzes are largely complete. Mined in 2006, this was from the end of the modern Pederneira workings. Valued $1800-2000
