Item Description
A superb and aesthetic parallel-growth thumbnail pair of gorgeous rich cranberry-red, gemmy and lustrous rubellite crystals from the incredible 1978 find at the Jonas Mine. This find is considered the most iconic tourmaline pocket in modern history and specimens from this find are considered among the most desirable, along with far rarer Blue Cap tourmalines from the Queen Mine. Complete all-around and pristine. Jonas tourmalines are almost magical, and still to this day unequaled for crisp color and value to the collector. 11.41 carats mass. Value?? MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
