This is a nicely mixed group of minerals, centered around a brilliant, super deep pink color Tourmaline that has a beautiful pink shading to a smoky pink at termination. The Tourmaline is 8.5 cm long and rises from a matrix of a beautiful, shiny, perfectly crystallized lepidolite. The matrix also hosts many perfect blue Topaz crystals of classic form with good transparency and very pale blue color, perfectly crystallized crystals aggregate with encrusting Lepidolite. The largest Topaz is 3 cm across the termination, at least two others are of similar size. The Tourmaline crystal has two repairs, but it fits perfectly. The color is super incredible in person, with the best luster we have seen from this locality with absolutely perfect termination.
