Item Description

Two, pristine, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored tourmaline crystals are aesthetically attached to the side of two, intergrown, light smoky quartz crystals. The tourmalines are doubly terminated. The quartz crystals looks like a doubly terminated single quartz, but are not. This very showy floater combination specimen is pristine. Older material from the 1970s or early 80s and difficult to get in this quality today. Ex Richard Hauck Quartz Collection.
