Tourmaline
NOTE that this is NOT from the Pala Collection, but I got it at the same time and included here as it fit well. It was mined by the Gochenour brothers around 2003. This comes from the collection of beloved collector and swapper Al Ordway, who we lost last year. It was sold to me by his collecting partner Jon Page, who sold it to me at Tucson 2008 for the family. It is a rare matrix Cryo-Genie piece, and, importantly, unrepaired. It has a very broad blue cap to it which is most unusual, attractive, and impressive when displayed. I have not seen another Cryo tourmaline like this, in fact. This small mine is probably not going to produce more, in all likelihood, as it did during a short run in the early 2000's.
