Item Description

To be honest, this is basically just a big pocket piece, to show how tourmalines form in situ more than anything. The tourmalines are dark green, somewhat translucent, and perched on a sparkling and snow white bladed cleavelandite matrix. Some are broken, so as I say this is more a reference specimen for tourmaline, though it displays nicely due to the high quality of the cleavelandite blades.
