Stunning miniature of green Tourmaline, Aquamarine, and Quartz together in an aestheticly composed cluster. The Tourmaline is translucent deep green and besides the main cluster, there are additional smaller green crystals on the backside. The Aquamarine is glassy, bright and partially doubly-terminated. The Quartz rises up the center and has interesting growth features on the prism faces and is also partially doubly-terminated. An overall outstanding architecture and sculptural look to the specimen. Well crystallized all around and undamaged with minor Albite and Lepidolite on the back, along with another small Aqua. Ex Irv Brown collection.
