Description

This is another fine specimen of rare Achroite tourmaline beautifully associated with quartz and albite matrix. The delicate colorless to slightly greenish tourmaline cluster aesthetically protrudes from transparent quartz crystals, creating a highly elegant and balanced composition. The crystals display excellent transparency, sharp prism formations, and brilliant vitreous luster. The contrast between the Achroite sprays, lustrous quartz points, and white albite matrix gives the specimen superb visual appeal and an impressive three-dimensional display. Overall condition and aesthetics of the piece are excellent, making it a highly attractive collectible specimen.
