Exquisite 3.5cm doubly-terminated Indicolite crystal emplaced on a clear Quartz crystal. The Tourmaline is gem quality for it's entire length, undamaged, with a good medium blue color (not too dark!) that alternates in intensity and shows great blue color well under any lighting without the need for any backlighting. The Quartz itself is fine and also interesting due to inclusions of white Dolomite crystals. No damage, repairs, or restorations. Ex. Mike Keim.
