These green tourmalines from the Merelani Mine, which get their bright green color from trace amounts of vanadium, possibly with a small amount of chromium (see Vol. 40, Number 5 - September-OCtober 2009 Mineralogical Record), are rare, and highly sought-after by collectors due to their amazing color. This one is complete all around, terminated, and has good luster.
