Tourmaline, Albite
Himalaya Mine, Gem Hill, Mesa Grande Mining District, San Diego County, California, USA
An outstanding specimen from this important locality, the crystal measures 3 1/2 x 1.0 inches. Three smaller, sharply terminated crystals lie nestled in white albite, creating what is, in my opinion, the ideal composition for a tourmaline specimen. 7 x 4 1/2 x 3.0 inches. Crystal-Odyssey specimen. gemcrystals@aol.com
