Tourmaline
Locality: Himalaya Mine (Himalaya pegmatite; Himalaya dikes), Gem Hill, Mesa Grande District, San Diego County, California, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
WOW! This doubly-terminated crystal diverges at its "shoulders" into a myriad of slender, gemmy, elongated red tourmaline points. It has green-red-yellow-green zoning up to that point, and then goes red-pink. The pics pretty much pale in comparison - its a VERY elegant and unusual specimen! Entirely translucent to transparent! 7.5 x 1.9 x 1.9 cm
