| 11518: Tourmaline, Quartz and Albite - $40 Cryo-Genie Mine, Warner Springs, Warner Springs Mining District, San Diego County, California Small cabinet - 6.3 x 5.0 x 2.5 cm 45 grams Specimen status: Reserved Send an email with specimen number to order A highly translucent, slightly
divergent, pink tourmaline spray is attached at the
termination to a matrix composed of crystalline quartz and
albite variety cleavelandite. The tourmaline is repaired
about halfway along its length. The adhesive used for the
repair has turned brown; I would normally disassemble the
specimen and repair it with fresh glue but it appears that
reassembly would be difficult. A nice representative
specimen from a locality which has been unproductive in
recent years. Previous dealer label with a $200 price.
