Fine, undamaged Elbaite crystal perfectly set for display in Quartz matrix. The Elbaite is 5.5cm long and translucent green, this is a very good sized Tourmaline and might I add that it is unrepaired and undamaged and perfectly situated on the center of the matrix.  There are plenty of loose single crystals but a Tourmaline of such size, unrepaired on matrix is not common. Much of the matrix is also covered by small, needle-like Elbaite crystals. Valued at $700-$800.
