Item Description
This mine has produced some of the most famous Tourmaline specimens in the world. This is a very attractive and very gemmy crystal group. The majority of the specimen is very gemmy with a beautiful pink hue, with a small portion at the terminations showing a pale greenish-yellow color. The basal termination on the main crystal is in good shape, with only a tiny bit of edge-wear. A nice colorful thumbnail gem crystal specimen from this renowned U.S. locality.
