Hi, Tobi!
Having a good taste is not difficult at all. The hardest for many of us (me included) is getting the money!

Tourmaline, quartz, albite
Group of several dark green tourmaline (maybe elbaite) crystals, showing some green to colorless zoning at their tips, accompanied by transparent colorless quartz and albite crystals. Overall size: 72 mm x 61 mm x 48 mm. Main tourmaline size: 11 mm wide. Weight: 177 g. (The transparent zone at the crystal tips is not really blue but almost colorless. Such color is induced by the background.)
(I'm just starting today with a new camera. Hope it will help improve my photos a little. Here is the first delivery.)
