Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Elbaite
Locality: Tourmaline King Mine (MS 4500; MS 4926; Gem), Tourmaline Queen Mountain (Pala; Queen), Pala District, San Diego County, California, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 6.4 x 3.7 x 2.1 cm.
A verified King Mine tourmaline, said to have come out around the early 1900s, and which Bill obtained from Pete Bancroft (author of Gem and Crystal Treasures) many years ago. This piece was probably mined around 1900, and is the kind of material once sent to the Empress dowager of China when San Diego was a gem export center for the US (pre-WWI); and the Chinese carving market drove gem mining efforts there. This is a really colorful and classic style for the mine, with a bright pink tourmaline capped by a faintly blue-toned termination when looked at from the side (but it looks pink, looking down from above). Weight is 98 grams. Ex. Pala International/William Larson Collection.
