A double-terminated "blue cap" Tourmaline from the Sapo Mine. Atypical of similar examples from this find, the colors of this crystal range from the inky blue cap to red/pink, to yellow, to an olive green at the complex termination (most others have the yellow zone next to the blue cap, then pink).
