35g Pink Spinel Crystal on Marble pink Two contrasting greens show differently

Two contrasting greens show differently on each side of this beautiful malachite specimen

the main crystal has some gemmy areas in it and the purple coloration gives these quartz points subtle

The tourmaline has a translucent tip and some translucency at the base of the crystal with the rest of the body mostly opaque

but it has a really beautiful color and transparent body
