Mineral Specimen #1048 Schorl Tourmaline on Aquamarine
Mimoso do Sul Mine, Mimoso do Sul, Espirito Santo, Brazil
Not only is the end of this specimen covered with criss crossed Schorl Tourmaline crystals, but it also flares out about 1 mm from the rest of the crystal and forms a ridge all the way around the crystal. The specimen is in good condition with no appreciable damage. Specimens from this location are seldom available.
