Item Description

A beautiful polished slice of bi-colored (pink and green) Tourmaline from San Diego County, California. This is true "Watermelon Tourmaline" with the green outer rind and the pink interior. This piece was sliced and polished from a broken crystal that was mined in the 1970s. Typically we're used to seeing Tourmalines from Brazil, Afghanistan or even the Congo these days, but the old classic crystals from San Diego County are some of the great forgotten gems of the mineral world. A nice example of this beautiful material for anyone interested in Tourmalines or gem minerals. Also a great piece for jewelry / wire wrapping!  Ex Bill Larson Collection.
