Item Description
Gemmy pink prismatic crystals of Rubellite Tourmaline mixed with massive white Quartz. The Tourmalines have high luster and excellent color. Also of note, the Tourmalines fluoresce, which is not unheard of for Tourmaline, but it certainly makes for an interesting detail. I think there was an article in Rocks and Minerals about fluorescent Tourmaline circa 2010 if you want more information.
