Item Description
Camp Robin is the famous old Madagascar location for what we now know of as Liddicoatite or Fluor-Liddicoatite in the Tourmaline group, but at the time they started coming out many decades ago they were simply known as unique tourmalines. Often they are zoned, so if you cut them in lateral slices, you see different patterns. Rarely, are they so gemmy as this 36 gram, robust, miniature sized crystal from an old collection we obtained. Valued $900-1250. Gorgeous and unusual color palette.
