11btdbiss ((ELBAITE)), $15 MINIMUM BID, Little Three Mine, Ramona, San Diego County, California. 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm, Thumbnail | |
Here is a very dark, opaque or very nearly opaque terminated undamaged Tourmaline. It looks like a Schorl and there is minor Cleavelandite. But I have had a larger specimen with the same marking on the termination and it was an Elbaite. Label says Elbaite. |
