An unusual tourmaline, I would say! The reason is that pastel-colored tourmalines from here seldom have strong color depth, but this one does. Both the blue and the pink are deeply colored and unusual shades to find in combination with each other. It looks more like a pospicle than a natural tourmaline, I admit. This cluster is also pristine, and complete all around as you can see here. There are gemmier, more deeply colored tourmalines out there...but this one just has a unique quality to it that makes it stand out for color impact and beauty, even among the crowd. Ed collected very few crystals of the gem species, perhaps 10% out of 1000 specimens only, and so they each HAD to be unique for him to want them.
