Unusually, we have here a complete floating cluster of tourmalines that must have grown in a nest of lepidolite, without real contacts to any matrix or other crystals. It is like a floating bowtie of crystals, all terminated and intact 360 degrees. Some terminations are not as shiny or smooth, but they are terminated and not broken. This is a rare occurrence, especially to be preserved without repairs, as they formed hundreds of millions of years ago! Older material, though how old we cannot say.
