"JONAS" tourmaline is one of those essentials, to which all other rubellites are compared. this was the most famous tourmaline find of the century, perhaps ever, to most folks' way of thinking. This cranberry-colored elbaite is from the famous pocket in the late 1970's. It is glassy, doubly terminated, with a wreath of small lepidolite crystals on one termination supporting it from the bottom, so you can see clearly that second termination from several angles around the piece (though not as shown in the photo). Specimens from this find are getting rare in the market place. 5.6 x 1.2 x 1.1 cm
