Tourmaline crystals display varied colors, shapes on a dark stand.
A high-angle close up view of a tourmaline crystal on display at an exhibit on a square black stand. The sides of the crystal resemble a large number of straws that have been placed in a cup packed tightly together. The front section of the crystal is pink and extends up into a short cylindrical shape, the top of the crystal is smooth and looks like it has been precisely cut. Behind it is a taller light green section of the crystal that is also in the general shape of a cylinder extending at a slight diagonal angle to the right. Directly behind the green cylinder is a tall pink cylindrical section of the crystal extending at a slight diagonal angle to the left. There is an orange colored crystal to the right. All of these crystals are connected and placed on the same square stand. There is a white wall directly behind the crystal. Light is shining from the left side of the image through the crystal, the crystal is projecting distorted light on the white wall behind it and on the right side of the black square stand. The white wall ends on the far right side of the image. Light is shining more predominantly on the let half of the image, the right half of the image including the wall is much darker.
