Gracefully rising from a textured pegmatite matrix, this attractive specimen features a well-formed green tourmaline crystal beautifully associated with cleavelandite, quartz, and feldspar. The tourmaline displays a pleasant green color, good transparency, and fine vertical striations, standing prominently above the matrix and providing a strong focal point. Surrounding it, the cleavelandite forms delicate, bladed aggregates scattered with numerous small green tourmaline crystals, creating a lively, detailed surface. Accents of quartz and feldspar add further contrast and balance, enhancing the overall composition. The combination of color, associations, and natural arrangement gives the specimen a highly appealing and aesthetic display.
