This specimen features a few top quality, shortened, prismatic (unusually not flattened) gemmy yellow green, lustrous crystals of Uvite Tourmaline on gemmy, rhombic Magnesite crystals. The quality is excellent and the larger Uvite 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 miniature of this rare Tourmaline species. 5.0 x 4.2 x 3.5cm
