Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Tourmaline
Locality: Himalaya Mine (Himalaya pegmatite; Himalaya dikes), Gem Hill, Mesa Grande District, San Diego County, California, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
AN UNUSUAL HIMALAYA ! This olive-green elbaite has a basal termination with a 1mm black rim and is girded at the base by white albite blades. This color phase is definitely less common than the rubellite color phase. As stated before, good Himalaya Mine tourmalines will become scarcer as time passes, and pieces like this that already were unncommon will simply be unobtainable down the road. It is, really, quite a bit better in person and when strongly backlit (these photos show just normal frontal lighting, nothing fancy). According to Cal Graeber these black capped Tourmalines came from a couple of dikes on the Himalaya property known as the “Chinese Camp”. 4.2 x 1.6 x 1.3 cm
