Tourmaline
Himalaya Mine, Gem Hill, Mesa Grande Mining District, San Diego County, California, USA
3.0 x 2.2 x 1.5 cm (1.18 x 0.87 x 0.59 in)
14.1 grams

A nice thumbnail-sized crystal of Himalaya Tourmaline that features a well-formed prismatic crystal with a stocky sidecar near its peak. Both the primary crystal and the sidecar have sharp, complex terminations and a rich pink hue all throughout; the larger crystal, however, is the only one of the two that has light green zoning near its termination. Each of the crystals are transparent and have a nice lustrous finish.

More Information: This piece is in great condition with the side-car being re-attached to the main crystal.
