Description

Pink Tourmaline in Quartz with Lepidolite 12cm

Nice big piece of this fantastic combo. White Quartz contrasting beautifully as a backdrop to striated pastel pink Tourmaline. Minor platy pink to purple Lepidolite in association adding a sparkle.

From Karibib, Namibia. Good to Very Good Grade. Size approx 12cm. Weight approx 470g.

A percentage of specimens from this relatively recently discovered deposit have hints of blue hues in areas which is suggestive of Indicolite – blue Tourmaline. This would require lab testing to confirm. 

 

GEOLOGICAL

Tourmaline is the name for a group of crystalline boron silicate minerals first identified in the 1800s. Its name comes from mid-18th century French. Tourmaline has some awesome properties! It becomes electrically charged when heated (this is called pyroelectric). It is also piezoelectric (meaning it creates electricity under pressure).

Tourmaline occurs in more colours and colour combinations than any other gemstone in the world. The different colours have many different causes. Manganese can create reds, pinks and yellows, while some pink and yellow Tourmalines might be due to colour centres caused by radiation.
