Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of tourmaline from this famed locality!!! This specimen consists of a sharp blade of cleavlandite that hosts
an intensely colored rubellite tourmaline crystal in association with numerous small crystals of lepidolite!!! The tourmaline
is glassy, gemmy, and exhibits characteristic rich red color!!! Although the crystal is not terminated, it displays quite
strikingly on the sharp, glassy, cleavlandite crystal!!! The cleavlandite has marked clarity and exhibits sharply defined twinning when
viewed on edge!!! Classic material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MARCH 8th!!!
