A UNIQUE and FACINATING, blue-green indicolite tourmaline on a large quartz crystal from the famous Barra de Salinas Mine of Brazil. Tectonic forces in the pocket broke the tourmaline in half, and the quartz crystal grew around the tourmaline pieces. The tourmaline break healed, so the 3.6 cm main crystal is now doubly terminated! This is a really showy specimen, which reflects earth forces at work. There is some contacting at the quartz termination, but this is such a unique piece, that it is really not detracting. The broken and healed indicolite on the large, sharp quartz crystal is the focal point.
