This mine has produced some of the most famous Tourmaline specimens in the world. This crystal is a very attractive specimen featuring four distinct color zones. The uncommon pyramidal termination on this crystal has a pale peachy color which grades into a nearly colorless (very pale green) zone that leads into a golden-green hue, ending with a vibrant pink color through the base of the crystal. The entire crystal (including the termination) has an excellent luster, and the overall quality of the piece is very good with wonderful gemminess, bright colors, and only a few slight "rubs" on the sides of the prism. Ex. Brian Kosnar Collection.
