Wow! What a unique and special specimen this is! A very fat and perfectly terminated green tourmaline growing around a quartz crystal. All on a bed of albite dusted with smaller green tourmaline crystals. The aesthetic composition of this piece is mind blowing! The tourmaline crystal is absolutely perfect, and it's amazing that it has held its shape while growing around the quartz. No repairs or enhancements - all natural. Ex. Jim Grebel Collection. Comes with a custom base as seen in the photos.
