Item Description
A rare and beautiful 40-piece collection of vivid pink gem rubellite tourmaline thumbnails from this less well-known Spanish pegmatite mine. Some crystals have terminations and some are crystal sections. The pink color resembles tourmalines from the famous Himalaya Mine. These were formerly thought to be Liddicoatite tourmalines, but are elbaites. These could make beautiful jewelry. Mass is 35 grams.
