MIN#TRM-1 NEW!

EXCEPTIONAL! Gorgeous criss-crossing crystals of pinkish-red Tourmaline!
The beauty and flash of this specimen is easily seen in the above photographs. Both
crystals are doubly terminated and as the far right photo illustrates, the top terminations
formed around a third horizontal Tourmaline crystal! Pretty unique to say the least.
The backside of the specimen has some purple Lepidolite and Albite for contrast.
From the Himalaya Mine, Mesa Grande District, San Diego County, California.
Measures 8.2 cm by 4.3 cm in size.

MIN#TRM-6 NEW!

SUPERB! Sharp, glassy crystals of Schorl Tourmaline on Albite!
This is one fine specimen of Schorl

Whether or not this is what happened, there's no doubt about the
aesthetics of this piece and fine condition of each shiny Schorl crystal.
