| 15804: Calcite, Quartz and Tourmaline -
$75 Himalaya Mine, Gem Hill, Mesa Grande Mining District, San Diego County, California Small cabinet - 7.7 x 5.9 x 4.6 cm 140 grams Fluorescent (LW/SW) Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order A large (for the species/locality),
flattened calcite rhombohedron showing platey morphology
hosts a 3.7 cm, doubly terminated but otherwise
nondescript quartz crystal as well as moderately abundant
but (again) nondescript, pink tourmaline. The calcite
displays spotty fluorescence under both longwave UV
(blacklight) and shortwave UV. Calcite is rare at the Himalaya Mine mine; this is a fine
species association example which is also in excellent
condition. Carries two previous dealer labels with prices
of $150 and $250.
