Summary edit

Description
English: Elbaite, Quartz
Locality: Himalaya Mine (Himalaya pegmatite; Himalaya dikes), Gem Hill, Mesa Grande District, San Diego County, California, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 6.8 x 4.1 x 3.4 cm.
A very illustrative example of how tourmaline grows in pockets, particularly in a highly disrupted pegmatite such as the Himalaya, with a tourmaline showing natural tectonic bending. This we have seen, from time-to-time at other locales…but the Himalaya is famous for its "bent" crystals actually. And this one, on matrix of quartz, is exceptional in that all the others I have seen at this size were loose of matrix. Crudely terminated, but terminated nonetheless. Ex. William Larson Collection.
