AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is an excellent specimen of gem liddicoatite from the pegmatites found in central Madagascar around the area close to Mt. Ibity. This piece in particular features a fairly thick and long gem crystal of "lipstick" tourmaline with a red tip and two other colors on its body: green and brown. The crystal is set on top of a quartz crystal and was definitely found within a pocket breccia by its appearance.
