This is a famous location for pink Rubellite Tourmaline in purple Lithium Mica called Lepidolite. This specimen only has rather small pink Tourmaline crystals in the massive Lepidolite. I have collected the dumps at this mine. Did not find anything this good for my $20 fee. I think thousands before me went through the same dump material as I. ex U of U geology dept specimen with label painted on specimen. |
