Tourmaline with quartz – Minas Gerais, Brazil
 Ex. Robert Scheck Collection, Acquired 1982
 A richly contrasting and interestingly grown tourmaline with two small quartz crystals from the Minas Gerais region of Brazil. This piece was part of the Robert Scheck collection for a long time. The delicate turrets are all intact, and even the fragile edges have (as far as we can tell) largely recrystallized.
 Wonderful thumbnail where there is always something new to discover.
