Single Tourmaline with attached Albite crystals. The crystal has a distinct bend caused by natural processes of fracturing and healing in the pegmatite pocket. Some are only slightly perceptable - this one is obvious, a really great example. The Tourmaline has a transparent yellow, triangular pyramidal termination. The bottom of the crystal breaks up into multiple small crystals, but is also fully terminated - it's a complete undamaged floater. One of my favorite crystals out of a large group purchased.
