Elbaite - unusual California tourmaline color (Ref: AX-7-181-(144))
Himalaya Mine, Gem Hill,Mesa Grande District, San Diego County, California, United States
27mm x 12mm x 11mm
A sharp and unusual gem Tourmaline from old finds at the famed Himalaya Mine. Ex Larry White collection, which he obtained in 1964 with two other Himalaya Tourmalines, but this was the only one with this color. We usually see the pinks and some yellow-greens but this mint green to bluish color is very uncommon. The condition is excellent, the termination complete and with fine transparency, this is nearly all facet grade Tourmaline. Better in person. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
