Item Description
Wow! The incredible, scintillating, cranberry-red color saturation on this gemmy and lustrous polished tourmaline slice is off the charts! This is old-time, very high quality and very rare for the color material from the famed Dunton Mine of Maine. The outer rind is, in fact, a very nifty accent to this amazing tourmaline slice. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection and valued at $500. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!! 47 grams. Try to find another of this intense color from this historic locale. I have seen similar sell for $1000 (or at least priced as such) at shows
