Tourmaline With Topaz And Cleavelandite
A monster crystal at 1200 grams, this is a complexly-terminated tourmaline intergrown with topaz on its termination. It is a HUGE crystal, with no repairs - which is remarkable for this mine. Not the most beautiful, but an important and large museum-sized specimen from an important locale. It is apparently from the earliest period of mining here circa 1910, according to Bill Larson: "it predates Louis Spaulding and the modern era as I got it from an old collector in Encinitas back in the 1960's, exchanged with cut tourmalines I mined. It was presumed to be from the 1910 period there."
