Gillette tourmaline is rare enough - an example on matrix rarer still, and a specimen with multiple tourmalines on a crystallized quartz nearly unheard of. This small granite pegmatite quarry, worked for decades in the early to mid 1900s and now covered by development, produced some classic East Coast tourmalines. The larger tourmaline has one repair, and measures 3 cm long. The smaller tourmaline next to it has one clean repair as well. The quartz has a shard repaired lock-fit where it slid off the remainder of the crystal right over the tourmaline pocket, set over the tourmalines, where that piece of the quartz was knocked off. Ex. George Elling Collection.
