Tourmaline Var. Elbaite – Steward Mine, Pala, San Diego Co., California, USA
 Ex Collection Rock H. Currier, Ex Bob Bartsch

The Pala region in California is famous for its exceptional tourmaline finds, but green tourmalines have rarely been unearthed.
The thumbnail offered here impresses with its wonderfully intense color, wonderful transparency and, upon closer inspection, a slight blue tone in the end surface.
The end surface is flawless and undamaged!!!
A wonderful collector's piece in a rare beautiful color from the Steward Mine, California, USA

 The now deceased, passionate mineral collector, LAPIS author and mineral dealer Rock H. Currier was a true American collecting legend. During his life he traveled to almost every accessible location. We were lucky enough to acquire a few selected pieces from his private collection for you.
