Tourmalinated Clear Quartz: freeform (Madagascar)

This clear quartz crystal has been polished into a rounded dome-like freeform shape, and is crammed on one side with multiple needle-like inclusions. Close examination shows these (I feel) to be black tourmaline, but they are partly coated with deposits that make them appear more brown/black. Although this is suggestive of epidot, the form of the crystals and their habit of growth makes me feel my first thought to be the most likely. There are also many tiny air inclusions and bubbles, which give the quartz a slightly milky look, although when held to the light its clarity is easier to perceive.
