This small cluster was a delightful find from the Maria mine in Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. A bright double terminated crystal lies across a self healed shard that shows record keepers at one end. At the other end of this shard and moving into the DT crystal are blue grey inclusions of lustrous tourmaline. You have to hold this group in the light to really see the color, but reflect the light off the surface and the tourmaline has a silvery chatoyancy. The DT crystal has a minor ding, but it does not take away from the vibrant energy of the group. It has a vibrant energy that opens the heart, throat and third eye. It helps break blockages in communication and expression while opening the heart to the inner truth. It assist one to find creative outlets of expression, while acting as a muse for those in creative fields. It helps one take a deep breath and relax, letting inspiration work its process through instead of trying to force it.

The formation measures 2.3" x 1.1" x 0.9" and weighs 1oz.
