Tourmaline on Quartz
Little Three Mine, Ramona, San Diego County, California, USA
Cabinet, 9.6 x 8.0 x 7.7 cm
Ex. William (Bill) Larson
SOLD
NO REPAIRS make this matrix Little Three mine specimen exceptional. The tourmaline is sharp and lustrous, 5 cm across. It is, typically for here, very dark and not very colorful. But the overall piece, in combination with a sharp and lustrous quartz (complete, though with some minor edge wear), is significant for the mine and striking in symmetry.
