This is a rare matrix specimen from these mines, with a deep wine-red crystal enclosed in a quartz point, grown together somehow.

Tourmaline (Var: Rubellite) : AD3G6(BO3)3[T6O18]Y3Z | |

Mokhovaya pegmatite, Danburitovaya pegmatite vein, Malkhan pegmatite field (Malchan), Krasnyi Chikoy, Chitinskaya Oblast', Transbaikalia (Zabaykalye), Eastern-Siberian Region, Russia 5.9 x 3.1 x 2.8 cm. A dramatically deep maroon-colored crystal with intense color saturation, this is quite translucent when strongly lit. In normal lighting, it is not gemmy but the intensity of the color and the unique, complex termination makes it nevertheless very interesting. Weighs 101 grams. |

Mokhovaya pegmatite, Danburitovaya pegmatite vein, Malkhan pegmatite field (Malchan), Krasnyi Chikoy, Chitinskaya Oblast', Transbaikalia (Zabaykalye), Eastern-Siberian Region, Russia 7.0 x 4.6 x 4.0 cm. A very fat, darkly colored tourmaline from this classic locale. It is complete all around, technically a floater as the bottom is crudely terminated as well. I like the classic, dark color - this was once called "siberite", a variety of rubellite from Russia, for this reason. Weighs 196 grams. |
