Summary

Description
English: Tourmaline
Locality: Maple Lode Mine, Aguanga Mountain District (Smith Mountain District), San Diego County, California, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
An exceptionally gemmy Maple Lode indicolite, from a locale which has sprodaically produced just a very few pockets of gem crystals over 30 years. Usually, they are purple or dark blue. This shade of bright blue is quite unusual and desirable! This is a slender crystal ending in a multiple termination atop. However, if you turn it upside down and stand it on its head so the broken-off and deceptively flat bottom is now the top, you'd never know it wasn't terminated and it displays even better ! Mined in the late 1980s. 4.9 x 0.4 x 0.4 cm
Deutsch: Turmalin
Fundort: Maple Lode Mine, Aguanga Mountain District (Smith Mountain District), San Diego County, Kalifornien, Vereinigte Staaten (Fundort bei mindat.org)
