Tourmaline - Himalaya Mine, Mesa Grande, San Diego Co., California, USA
 ex collection Robert check
 
 Interestingly bented tourmaline of 8.7 cm lengh and intense color. The crystal broke during the growth in the upper third and healed again seamlessly, although the direction of growth was changed. You rarely see such a seamless transition at the breaking area. It was found in the Himalaya Mine, California, USA. Historic find from the early 1980s.
