Item Description

The Cryo-Genie Mine is best known for its beautiful crystals Tourmalines, found in wide array of habits, styles and colors. This miniature sized specimen is a wonderful example of this material featuring a semi-"spray" of sharp, lustrous, prismatic crystals of Tourmaline measuring up to 2.7 cm long. The crystals predominantly show a bright bubble gum pink hue, but if you flip it over, you'll see a beautiful green color along the base of the "spray" A VERY worthwhile and specimen that would fit nicely into any miniature suite, a collection of Tourmalines or a suite of San Diego County material. From the collection of Robert (Bob) Reynolds who passed in August of 2020. Bob was a well-known fossil and mineral expert and former Curator of Earth Sciences at the San Bernardino County Museum in California. The rare phyllomanganate-chromate species Reynoldsite was named in his honor in 2011.
