A classic, old-time watermelon tourmaline from the historic Plumbago Mine of Newry, Maine. The glassy, gemmy, well-striated, green rind surrounds the translucent, vivid, watermelon-pink core on this historic piece. This is a large, well-terminated crystal. Probably mined prior to 1900, but no proof. 169 grams. Ex. George Elling Collection.
