This interesting pegmatite mineral association specimen consists of abundant pink and green tourmaline crystals and fragments, partially coated with and cemented together by calcite, all on a crystalline microcline matrix. The specimen probably formed at the base of a pocket which had ruptured (hence the tourmaline fragments) with subsequent inflow of calcium-rich fluids. Certainly not the prettiest Himalaya Mine tourmaline specimen but mineralogically interesting regardless.
