Item Description

A cluster of intergrown tourmaline and quartz crystals from the Pederneira, quite colorful and flashy and wonderfully aesthetic in overall form. The large pink-topped crystal has a healed termination; the green-capped ones are all terminated. If you look closely, you can see that one of the quartz crystals has a cluster of small tourmalines included inside it! These little green tourmalines grew straight off the side of the larger pink one, and then the quartz crystal growing from a different direction engulfed them when it reached them. A very pretty and delicate Pederneira piece!
