Item Description

This specimen features a predominant, excellent quality, shortened/flattened gemmy green, lustrous crystal of Uvite Tourmaline on gemmy, white/colorless Magnesite crystals. The quality is great for the species the main Uvite (which measures 1.2 cm across) is very aesthetically flaring out of the matrix, as opposed to laying flat against the Magnesite like so many other specimens from this mine. A beautiful thumbnail of this rare Tourmaline species.
