Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely gorgeous, old time example of tourmaline from Madagascar!!! This striking specimen consists of a sharp, complexly terminated
crystal of gem-clear green tourmaline in association with a single quartz crystal proudly perched on it side!!! This unique and
aesthetic Madagascar beauty exhibits a highly complex, acutely pointed termination, lively green color, and
gem clarity!!! The quartz crystal is complete and exhibits a highly complex, sharply defined habit as well!!!
When viewed down the c-axis, one can see that the crystal has a slight Y-shaped habit, which adds dramatically
to the crystal's ability to catch the light and show off its gemmy interior and rich green color!!! This specimen is in
fantastic condition all around and displays stunningly in person!!! Rare old time Madagascar material!!! This specimen
retains an old label from the Dr. Eugene Sensel collection as well!!! Simply stunning in person!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 5th!!!
