- SOLD
A glassy and gemmy, forest-green elbaite crystal measuring 10.5 cm in length, is aesthetically attached to the front of a stout, glassy and gemmy, colorless quartz crystal, measuring 8.5 cm in length. Notice the 4 cm long crystal totally included within the quartz crystal? Dramatic and beautiful! This piece speaks for itself and is as fine a Pederneira tourmaline in this size range as I can imagine, because it is so dramatic and unique amongst hundreds of others found. Nothing is quite like this, and it just leaps out at the viewer from a shelf. It has one very clean, tight repair. We called it "Sword in the Stone" when I first had it some time ago, and recently was able to reacquire this piece. It was mined in the period around 2005-2008, we believe. Comes with a customer lucite base. Price on Request.
