Item Description
From a pocket opened in June of 1982 at the Fano Mine containing superb crystals of schorl tourmaline, with perfect pyramidal terminations, well-striated and good luster. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, a trivial bit of edgewear is noted, but certainly nothing to detraction. These have not been seen since, and are sought-after by California collectors when they become available. Ex Jaime Bird Collection.
