Here is a beautiful indicolite tourmaline crystal, from this well known mine.

It appears to be from the Azul Bien Grande pocket, mined back in 2004.

The crystal has a beautiful blue / green coloring more blue when back light and a hint of purple.

It has a complex growth / terminations to the top of the crystal.

Looks like the growth of the crystal was altered in the pocket and shifted the rest of it's growth.

Both levels are blue terminated caps.

Slight micro chips on the terminations, but no real damage, back side is a fibrous type growth.

Overall a beautiful specimen.
