This specimen of mushroom tourmaline features 2 trigonal, mushroom-like crystals with characteristic botryoidal masses. The color of the tourmaline is a luscious, gemmy raspberry pink, which makes a wonderful contrast against the white/yellow matrix. It is rare to find multiple crystals on a single specimen. This rare form of elbaite tourmaline has a fan-like protruding botryoidal growth that resembles the formation of a mushroom, on the top of trigonal crystals. No damage.
