PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pink Rubellite Tourmaline With Blue Lithium Undertones
Unveil the beauty of our unique mineral deposit, featuring a captivating interplay of white Feldspar intricately entwined with Smokey or Clear Quartz. This striking matrix showcases variably gemmy, specular Rubellite Tourmaline inclusions, creating a fascinating and rare combination of minerals.
The Feldspar/Quartz matrix ranges from pristine snow-white to subtle light grey, providing a contrasting backdrop that enhances the intensity and distribution of the Rubellite Tourmaline inclusions. Originally mistaken for Eudialyte, this deposit was later confirmed through Canadian testing as a mineral from the Tourmaline group.
This rare and exquisite find belongs to the cyclosilicate superclass, with trigonal boro silicates as its structural foundation, part of the Tourmaline Group, an intriguing category first introduced by Richard Kirwan in 1794. Its rarity and exceptional quality make it a standout addition to any collection.
