  4. This stunning #elbaite #tourmaline, named the Tarugo, is one of the largest intact mineral crystals ever found. It's notable for its exceptional quality & unique cranberry color. See it in the new Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals.

  6. Each year at the Gem and Mineral Show I try to identify what's new and trendy, something that every dealer has. This year it seems to be and samples. I also saw these samples, new to me (and too dear for my budget; prices in Canadian dollars): and with . It seems to have all sold!

  9. Most of you will never see even one of these mineral specimens in person, so when I was invited to see this case, I asked if I could snap a picture. So, my #mastodon friends, here are some of San Diego’s finest produced #gems in the rough. #tourmaline #morganite #kunzite.

  10. #Schorl (a kind of #Tourmaline) embedded in a nice piece of elvan - the #Cornish name for a particular type of hard granite with these large isolated tourmaline crystals.

    #Fossicked from #MineWaste at the top of the large tailings dam at the eastern end of the Wheal Maid valley. This was constructed from waste rock excavated from Mount Wellington, a mine a few miles away during the late 70s. This specimen is more likely to originate there than any of the many older mines nearby.

    Largest Crystal Size: 7 mm

  11. @MineralCup I feel personally assaulted that #tourmaline, #beryl, #barite, and even #spodumene and #selenite the largest crystals in the world, aren't in this bracket. These are badass minerals.
    I don't think #mercury is even a #mineral. It's just an #element.
    And no #hematite or #magnetite? People are just showing off. #bischofite? Girl, please. #shitpostingwithlove

    Some larger #schorl #tourmaline crystals I managed to find inside some #luxullianite. Tourmaline is recognisable by it's long prismatic 'habit', the crystals also have a tendency to change colour along their length. Big ones are valuable as gemstones and apparently they might have been used as navigational aids for #Vikings (used to detect the sun's position pre-dawn or in cloudy conditions).
