mc RUBELLITE, LEPIDOLITE in CLEVELANDITE, San Diego County, California, 4.5 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm | |
Very fine and beautiful miniature from San Diego County. Two pink terminated Rubellite Tourmaline nested in blades of white Clevelandite with a single purple Lepidolite crystal also nested in the Clevelandite. Nice contrast with the white and pink. The Rubellites have flat lustrous terminations and the larger has a beveled modification to the termination. A second bevel looks like a small ding, but could be easily mistaken for a second modification. ex Mel Cannon collection. |
