Elbaite from Himalaya Mine, San Diego County, California, USA

Fantastic tourmaline from Himalaya Mine on a well balanced motherrock matrix

This is a killer small cabinet tourmaline from California. A bicolor tourmaline crystal with a total length of 7,0 cm is sittting on top of its motherrock matrix. The piece displays fantastic and is well balanced.

It’s an unrepaired specimen on rare matrix. The tourmaline is very gemmy with a perfect termination. This is an ideal collector specimen of Tourmaline from the Himalaya.

Location: From Himalaya Mine, Gem Hill, Mesa Grande District, San Diego Co.

Measures: 5,5 x 7.0 x 4.4 cm in total size
