Raspberry-colored rubellite crystal with intense color and well-formed terminations. The main crystal measures 3.3 cm, with a smaller second crystal also present. Both tourmalines grew on a double-terminated quartz crystal. Portions of both minerals are covered with a white layer, likely cleavelandite, providing a striking contrast to the vivid rubellite colors.
