Item Description

This rare-earth element Li-Be mine near Ohio City is known for producing multi-color Tourmaline specimens, but they are certaily few and far between. This partial crystal section is more of a reference specimen than anything else. It features bright pink and soft green Tourmaline with minor purplish Lepidolite and Quartz. If you collect worldwide Tourmalines, these specimens are nearly impossible to find on the market now, and this would make a great addition to a reference Tourmaline suite.
