Excellent and classic Tourmaline from certainly the most famous Tourmaline locality in the United States, and justifiably so. This 6 cm beauty grades from pink to green, has excellent luster, fine gemminess, and a good termination. As expected in most tourmalines, there is a stress fracture in the lower half, and a few minor dings along the top edge. Associated with large Quartz crystals, Albite, and Lepidolite, this is a distinctive specimen from a highly desirable locality.
