Bicolor Beryl on quartz/feldspar matrix with minor tourmaline Additional trimming after initial find. Bi-color Beryl in a quartz, feldspar, tourmaline, and mica matrix from the Oceanview Mine in Pala, California. One of the larger and nicer Bi-colors - a combination of aquamarine and morganite - from the 49r Pocket of late 2007. The pastel pink and blue beryl is shot through with what appears to be foitite tourmaline, which transmits brown light.
