Despite the incredible amount of minerals coming out of China these days, tourmalines are exceptionally uncommon. This specimen hails from the Gaoligong Shan area which is very close to the border with Burma. It hosts a wonderfully lustrous, sharp, gemmy, pink and green euhedral crystal of Tourmaline sitting amongst Quartz and Feldspar matrix.
