Item Description
An unusual castle-like growth of intermixed rubellite tourmaline, and quartz, ingrown into each other. This is a Jonas Mine tourmaline from the classic 1978 find here, with the right color if not gemminess to it. It is not a typical Jonas at all, which is why it is perhaps interesting to the tourmaline collectors. The top is terminated, etched into an elongated termination as you see
