A fine 2-piece set of gem, green pencil tourmalines from the Gillette Quarry at Haddam Neck, Connecticut. The crystals have excellent emerald-green color saturation. One crystal is doubly terminated (uncommon) and you can see where one of the terminations broke, healed and re-grew crooked. Classic Haddam Neck green tourmaline material. 9.18 carats or nearly 2 grams. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection and collected by Gene Vitali in the 1950-60s.
