An authentic, historic American pegmatite mineral specimen featuring a gemmy, color-zoned Indicolite Tourmaline (Elbaite) crystal from the legendary Mt. Mica Quarry, Paris, Oxford County, Maine.
Discovered in 1820, Mt. Mica is celebrated as the oldest gem tourmaline locality in North America. Blue "indicolite" tourmalines from this historic quarry are widely prized by collectors for their intense color saturation and classic New England mineral provenance.
This single crystal exhibits striking vertical color zoning, featuring a dense midnight-blue base that opens up into an intensely gemmy electric teal-cyan midsection, partially terminated by a deep indigo-violet cap.
An essential centerpiece acquisition for Maine locality specialists, tourmaline suite collectors, or systematic thumbnail display cabinets seeking historic American pegmatite representation. You will receive the exact specimen pictured.
