    I need help identifiying this rock formation
    My mother picked this up on a trip to Quartzite many years ago.

    The matrix is very, heavy, I'd say the entire specimen ways about 40 lbs.

    Can someone please help me identify the ble vein of rock. I believe it may be Tourmaline.

    thanks
