A green Tourmaline crystal that has been almost entirely psuedomorphed to Quartz. Only a thin layer of Tourmaline remains on the front. Both the top and bottom show Quartz terminations, and the center and back are all mostly Quartz crystal. A strange one!!! Ex. Chuck Trantham collection, acquired by Chuck in 2005. Valued at $200.
