This is a classic specimen from the late-1990s pocket of blue-caps found in the Sapo Mine and never seen since. These represent one of the most famous, most distinct, most sought-after finds of tourmaline since the Maine greens and the California blue-caps of the 1970s. At 23 grams, with such equant form, this is a respectable example. As a bonus, it is, crudely but surely, doubly-terminated on bottom.
