Cherry blossom pink tourmaline crystal from the Rubaya Mine in eastern DRC, notable for its vivid color and unusual multi-stepped termination. The termination shows a rare repeating chevron pattern—sometimes referred to as skeletal or hoppered growth—formed when crystal faces grow unevenly due to rapid shifts in fluid chemistry or temperature during formation. This distinctive surface texture reflects interrupted or selective growth, giving the crystal a sculptural, architectural quality
