A highly aesthetic miniature showcasing a classic and highly sought-after paragenesis - a tourmaline crystal almost centrally embedded in a massive, glassy quartz. The tourmaline itself exhibits distinct color zoning: from olive-green in the interior of the crystal to completely transparent at the tip. The column has a perfectly flat termination. The quartz matrix for the tourmaline is very clear, and its crystals display natural, delicate iridescence. Main Features: tourmaline embedded in quartz; color zoning; perfectly flat termination of the tourmaline; massive, glassy quartz crystal. Condition: Very good - the tip of the tourmaline crystal is preserved in excellent condition with an intact surface; the quartz crystal bears natural growth marks.
