Rubellite & Quartz (1978 famous find)

Item Description

Juicy, gemmy, glorious cranberry-red tourmaline from the renowned 1978 find at the Jonas Mine. The parallel-growth crystals are dramatically accented by the striking, water-clear, light smoky quartz crystal and the pearlescent cleavelandite blades. A couple of the tourmaline terminations are broken and the tip of the smoky is lightly bruised, but you have to look close to see those defects. This remains an adorable and aesthetic combination minature from the most famous tourmaline find of all time.
