What Makes This Specimen Relevant
This terminated tourmaline crystal is notable for its stepwise termination pattern, a distinctive growth structure along the crystal's end that adds visual interest beyond a simple flat termination. For more on how tourmaline color and form vary, see our guide on tourmaline colors explained. This piece sits within our broader Minerals & Crystals collection, and its elongated single-crystal form (107mm long) makes it well suited to display upright or laid flat in a specimen case.
Buying Considerations
As a natural tourmaline specimen with a slim profile (25mm at its narrowest), handle it carefully around the stepwise termination to avoid chipping. Our guide on how to clean and care for raw mineral specimens covers general handling practices for crystals like this. You can view the video of this exact crystal before purchase. This specimen ships with express shipping.
