A rich spray of ocean green apophyllite showing very best sparkling luster and great clarity is set on a snow white matrix of well crystallized stilbite! The quality on this specimen is just outstanding and miraculously all crystals are in perfect condition with razor-sharp edges! Set atop the apophyllite are single isolated stilbite crystals like sugar candy. Being completely free of damage this is an excellent specimen of great color, quality and aesthetics!

Rich open colors, good size and a brilliant design make this tourmaline a real stunner! The crystal is semi-transparent at the bottom, where the color is a rich pink. The further up you look the glassier and more transparent it gets! The color changes about halfway up, first to a layer of white and then to an intensive glassy apple green! A small patch at the tip is pink again which puts just the cherries atop the icing! Most spectacular is the sharp, multifaceted termination that is unusually well developed! The whole specimen is perfectly flawless all around and highly lustrous. A stunning textbook tourmaline crystal!
