A highly attractive tourmaline cluster set on a fine cleavelandite bed, recently acquired and beautifully presented. The specimen features superb and unusual coloration, with a striking blend of blue and subtle lilac tones that make it particularly eye-catching. The crystals rise elegantly from the matrix, creating a lively and dynamic composition. Although three of the tourmaline crystals have been repaired, they are well-positioned and do not detract from the overall aesthetics. The contrast between the colorful tourmaline and the soft white cleavelandite enhances the piece’s visual appeal, giving it a strong presence and display quality. The composition remains very appealing, with excellent balance and harmony. This color combination is especially interesting and stands among the more distinctive examples seen in recent material.
