These four primary Tourmalines are interconnected with Cleavelandite. This was recently mined, and rushed to Munich where I carefully selected it for its color, clarity and lack of damage. This piece is quite unique because it shows off a blue cap beyond a band of green and a broader layer of yellow-green. This was the only blue cap example out of 125 specimens available. The tourmaline is bright and reflective. It's in great shape no damage to the four tourmalines. There is a very minor small fifthe crystal that has a little chipping, but no big deal.
