An excellent specimen of CARVING GRADE tourmaline from the famous Dunton Quarry in Newry, Maine. This beautiful bi-colored, cranberry and green, tourmaline is gemmy, translucent, striated and lustrous. The crystal is completely, if crudely terminated, and there is a gemmy and lustrous 2.0 cm yellow feldspar(?) crystal on the termination. This piece is complete all-around and has very, very trivial damage. Classic material that is hard to obtain and quite different in appearance from Brazilian tourmalines. 4.5 x 3.8 x 3.0 cm
