Item Description
Prismatic, heavily striated greenish-black to Indicolite blue color Tourmaline crystals with "cat's eye" terminations are included within and growing on sharp, well-formed, tabular, GEM quality colorless Quartz crystals. The piece appears to be a complete "floater" as I cannot really find a true point of attachment. The two smaller Quartz crystals are very thin and unusually formed, but still complete crystals. No notable damage, and just beautiful up close. It's a strange overall piece with interesting form and great aesthetics. Valued at $750.
