Quartz / Tourmaline (22,6cm x 10,6cm)
Mario Pauwels collection , Fernand Van Mieghem photo

Two almost parallel growth Quartz crystals who are connected to each other by a penetrating creamy crystal in the center. The size of the specimen but also the many green Tourmaline (Verdelite) inclusions in both Quartz crystals makes this a very aesthetic and a very unusual combination. The specimen was collected in the early eighties.
