This hillock of albite, stark white and bladed, hosts a 4 x 4 x 3 cm multicolored tourmaline crystal atop. The photos do not do it justice, as they de-emphasize color when we light it without putting it in a case as you would display. It is, in person, fairly gemmy when backlit with even a half decent light. It has the classic purple zoning of some tourmalines from this mine, and excellent luster. Although there is a crack in one lateral line through part of the tourmaline, it does not go through and the piece is unrepaired, as the albite held it solidly together. Matrix examples of these purple-capped Stewart pieces are uncommon and this is an excellent example particularly for the price range. As I said, it really is more impressive in person. 1200 grams
