crystal hosts a scattering of tourmaline and minor
feldspar. The quartz termination is pristine. Along the
back is a large, slightly curved impression, probably of a
large tourmaline crystal. The tourmalines which are
present are generally rather thin and light olive grey
green in color. The most significant tourmaline measures
1.3 cm, with its termination rising above the edge of the
quartz. Overall condition is very nice.
