Quartz on Tourmaline with Lepidolite

Amazingly aesthetic Tourmaline var. Indicolite specimen from the Pederniera Mine in Brazil. A tabular Quartz crystal sits propped up an an angle on the termination of a deep blue Tourmaline crystal. The crystal grades up from a greenish blue to a dark inky blue at the termination. Smaller Tourmaline and books of purple Lepidolite are attached. The crystal is complete all around, translucent to transparent, and pristine. An old Hawthorneden label shows a date of May 1990 and indicates it was once in the Gene LaBerge collection.
