Tourmaline, Quartz
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, bright bubble-gum pink euhedral crystal of Tourmaline sitting on a partial Quartz crystal. The Tourmaline crystal does have a light green hue near the termination but 90% of it is vibrant pink in color. The termination of the crystal is rather lustrous too. Ex. Brian Kosnar Collection.
