A Pseudomorph is Defined as One Mineral that Chemically Replaces Another Mineral without Changing the External Form of the Original Mineral. Essentially it is Mineral Replacement.
This Outstanding Brazilian Specimen is Made up of a Green Tourmaline Crystal Cluster. The Largest Tourmaline Crystal in the Cluster has a Quartz Core.. The Quartz is the Mineral that has Naturally Replaced the Core of the Largest Tourmaline and is Exposed on the Bottom and Side of the Crystal.

The Other Tourmaline Crystals in the Twinned Cluster do not Have Quartz Cores but one is Terminated and Also has a Mini Green Tourmaline Twin. (So its a Twinned Crystal with a Twinned Crystal).
The Matrix is Made up of Lepidolite and Crystal Pocket Material.
