Item Description
A green tourmaline of classic style for this mine, from which a large production came out about 5 years ago and recently, not much at all. The crystal is embedded in a mass of crystallized lepidolite. Moreover, it seems to be ALTERING TO lepidolite, if you look up its bottom to see that the tourmaline seems to be replaced at the base, and lower edges, by lepidolite.
