Unusual Tourmaline crystal from Mogok, Burma. The crystal shows a green core with darker outer zones and a rounded termination that gives it a mushroom-like appearance. While true mushroom-form tourmaline is best documented from Brazil and China, this Mogok example displays a natural growth pattern that strongly resembles the habit. Mogok is far better known for rubies and spinels, making collectible tourmaline crystals from this region both scarce and desirable. The piece requires backlighting to really appreciate the subtle colors
