S7726 - Liddicoatite - $200 SOLD
Anjanabonoina, Antsirabe, Madagascar
Overall Size: 3.5 x 2.8 cm
Wow, here is something you don't see everyday, a yellow termination! The two colors compliment
each other in a way that only tourmaline could, just outright killer zoning. Termination isn't to shabby
too on this small miniature of 3.5 x 2.8 cm in overall size. It is from older production while Behier was
still alive and now up for sale at a reasonable price because of a cash/trade deal with a private
collector, not to miss!

S7727 - Elbaite - $300 SOLD
Aricanga Mine, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Overall Size: 4 x 1.2 cm
Now that is a good looking bi-colored tourmaline! A strong green grading into vivid red in the upper
portion forming a prism of 4 x 1.2 cm in overall size. This type of color-zoning has only a handful of
rival localities with each mine merely different and not necessarily better. As shown the crystal is
of gem quality without damage on the termination. Of limited supply as few worldwide finds have
been made of this caliber, phenomenal for an elbaite!

S7728 - Liddicoatite - $1500
Anjanabonoina, Antsirabe, Madagascar
Overall Size: 4.2 x 3.4 cm
All you collectors out there have to admit this is a gorgeous tourmaline of flaming hot-pink gemmy see
into faces almost edible in appearance! In the bottom photo the outline of an inner jet-black pyramidal
zone is barely visible yet still quite noticeable in hand, in addition there is the raspberry colored cap of
indistinguishable hue seen in Madagascar material which is uncommon on today's market but of no
surprise as the deposit has been repeatedly worked over the years for the top color. This piece of 4.2 x
3.4 cm in size is just now returning from private hands, comes with an old label suggesting it is from an
earlier find, absolutely splendid for the species!

S7730 - Chrome Tourmaline - $1000
Lossogonoi Hill, Landanai, Tanzania
Overall Size: 2.8 x 2.7 cm
Super glassy faces exhibiting a smooth surface texture only seen in a small percent of crystals, another
way of saying this piece has a high level of quality. Although the perception of 2.8 x 2.7 cm in size may
sound small it is quite large for Tanzania, hard to capture the 3 dimensionality in a photo. A must see in
order to be fully appreciated, the kind of rich green saturation and aesthetic shape that has even the
most jaded veterans in awe! Trust me this one is a real winner!

S7731 - Elbaite - $780 SOLD
Himalaya Mine, Mesa Grande, San Diego Co., California
Overall Size: 8.5 x 2 cm
Everyone familiar with Himalaya pieces knows the strong rich color zoning seen in some crystals, this
one exhibits about five! The doubly terminated elbaite of 8.5 x 2 cm in size is very distinctive with
amazing coloration and translucency, in part this has made the mineral overwhelmingly popular as
countless finds of various colors come from the famous mine. If you like pegmatite minerals you will
love this one of good size which is rarer and rarer even in California collections, in any case it's a
good pick!
