Description

This one is a very nice pink mushroom tourmaline, already famous from Mogok.

The colour is tremendous and the structure easily to be seen at the backside, where the crystal obviously was intergrown with the matrix. On the black (schorl?) core the elbaite has grown to a mushroom shaped aggregate, very good specimen.

A very good addition to any showcase.
