Description
This striking mineral specimen features a vivid green tourmaline crystal naturally embedded within a shimmering muscovite matrix. The contrast between the rich emerald-green tourmaline and the golden, layered muscovite creates a dynamic and visually engaging piece that highlights the beauty of pegmatite mineral formation. The tourmaline crystal shows excellent color saturation and texture, while the muscovite provides both balance and reflective luster.
A wonderful example of tourmaline growth within mica, this specimen offers strong aesthetic appeal while remaining true to its natural, unaltered state.
