Description

A legend for Tourmaline collectors. Propably the best Rubellite discovery world-wide. The particular specimen is on best color. I wouldn´t call this pink or violet - this is deep purple. The crystals are gemmy and of good clarity, assemble and combination with Muscovite is very aesthetic. The 2 upper crystals are endpointed to the center and extracted at the outer side. The lowest crystal is not endpointed.
