Large cluster of pink Tourmaline crystals from recent finds in far eastern DR Congo. This specimen is significan for both it's large size and the cluster formation (most from this locality are singles). Complete all around and undamaged, though the side crystal is repaired (the upper half of the side crystal fell off during the cleaning process due to iron removal and was reattached). High glassy luster, translucent with areas of transparency. Weighs 310 grams (about $71/gram).
