Item Description

A lovely 4 crystal set of bi-colored pink and green Tourmalines from the famous Mount Mica Quarry in Maine. These crystals were mined in the early 1980s by Dean McCrillis (Plumbago Mining) and were later given to Richard Kosnar for his Maine gem crystal collection. The crystals are not world class examples of Tourmaline, as only one of them has a defined termination (the other are contacted on both ends - but one almost looks like a "nodule"), but they are a still nice assortment of these fairly hard to find crystals from one of the most famous (and first) gem localities in the United States.
