A really great combination! The tourmaline crystal is sharp terminated and end-pointed. It show red-pink to yellow color tones. The faces are partly glossy. the front-side with the smoky is lustrous, the backside more on satiny luster. The smoky quartz is sharp terminated and in light smoky color! The contrast oftourmaline and smoky quartz is really great and the combination of these two minerals is more uncommon! No significant damages to report.
