Well terminated, lustrous single Tourmaline crystal rising vertically from snow-white Albite crystals. Set around the base are two Apatite crystals and another smaller Tourmaline crystal. The larger Tourmaline is dark with a very thin transparent zone on the termination. The smaller Tourmaline is translucent purple when backlit. Beautiful composition, sculptural and undamaged all around.
