Lovely specimen pieces of green Tourmaline in a Quartz matrix.

These do have quite a decent amount of Tourmaline in!

A nice bright green Tourmaline on pretty clear-white Quartz; the only issue I have with this material is that the Quartz matrix isn't as stable as I'd like.

• #1 - 74.6x34.4x19.5MM - half a Quartz point with at least two tourmaline crystals - one as an inclusion, one external. It is translucent to transparent and appears to be covered in a white clay or Quartz growth.
• #2 - 19.6x12.4x10MM - a small fragment of a larger piece; I think this piece will make a nice micromount for someone as there's plenty going on.
• #3 - 40.1x28.5x23.2MM - a reasonably sized piece with plenty of green Tourmaline over bright white Quartz. Translucent to opaque.
• #4 - 112x74.8x61.3MM - a small cabinet piece about the size of my fist. While this is a nice piece, it contains some Mica which seems to be making the matrix quite fragile. Weighs just over half a kilo (545g).

Because these are natural pieces, the amount of inclusions will differ, as will the size, shape, and colour of the piece - please take a careful look at the photos. In some cases we sell pieces purely by size, these are smaller and it isn't hugely worth taking the time to photograph them individually.
