A complete quartz crystal literally enveloping an elongated dark green tourmaline. We have all seen tourmalines sticking out of quartz, but seldom do you see so much tourmaline embedded in a quartz, and then further to have it be a balanced, aesthetic specimen...very uncommon. In person, the tourmaline is somewhat translucent and has color, by the way, though it is hard to photograph. Weighs 655 grams.
