Item Description
A beautiful, classic tourmaline from THE famous 1972 find at the Dunton Mine. The gemmy and lustrous, well-striated crystal is the classic, sea-green hue with intense saturation that is renowned for this find. The crystal is complete all-around. The back of the termination is notched and contacted, from where a attached feldspar once was, but is undamaged and not broken. Some further contacting is noted lower on the back, but is out of sight. This is a classic, highly representative and desirable example from this famous find. Ex Russell Jones Collection. 20 grams. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!! valued $1000-1250
