This Tourmaline has an electric, bright Blue-green color. It is slightly tabular (flat), but not too flat. When looking at it straight-on, it looks bigger than it is. It has four side crystals growing alongside it. The terminations are all in good condition. There is some scuffing on the reverse side near the bottom of the crystal. Where the crystals are growing together on the front side, there is a very skinny one, sandwiched in there that is terminated, but whose stem runs halfway down the length of the others. Not particularly noticeable. the second two pics are both side shots. It weighs 16.9 grams.
