HUGE Green Tourmaline Crystal 3.5" - 71.7 grams - Naipa Mine, Mozambique

Description

Green Tourmaline Crystal
----
Naipa mine, Muiane-Naipa group, Gilé District, Zambezia Province, Mozambique
----
71.7 grams
~95mm tall
This crystal comes from a very rare locality that I personally like very much. The mine produces a VERY small volume of tourmaline crystals compared to most others.
This crystal is HUGE for a tourmaline crystal! It is a deep blue/green color with a mineralized termination that this locality is famous for.
There is a small mica crystal growing off the bottom of the specimen.
There is unfortunately a large fracture about halfway down the crystal. It is stable to handle but this specimen requires more tender care than others and is discounted to reflect that.
This crystal has not been polished or altered in any way.
