A section of a Tourmaline crystal with a pink interior and a dark olive green exterior. The green exterior is between 3 and 4 mm thick. At one end of the crystal section, in the central core, the Tourmaline is a light pale color with a hint of blue. The green exterior is in places cut through with platy crystals of light blue Albite. Althought not a complete crystal, this is quite nice for the location. The location is mined primarily for lithium.
