This gemmy pink to green crystal has great glassy luster and is nicely placed on part of a quartz crystal. The tourmaline crystal has great form and clarity. The colors are unusual and produce a very attractive specimen. The crystal does have two repairs but they do not detract from the piece too much visually, and its really dramatic as you can see! Mined by Louis Spaulding in the 1970s, sold to Chuck Houser of San Diego, and from him to me to Kevin in the mid 1990s. It is a very unusual locality piece for the gemminess and color! Ex. Kevin Brown collection.
