Pink Tourmaline in Quartz 6.5cm

Great little specimen with a big striated pastel pink Tourmaline rod in lovely white Quartz matrix. Some minor pink-purple Lepidolite mica in association adding a little sparkle. From Karibib, Namibia. Very Good Grade. Size approx 6.5cm. Weight approx 145g.

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:

Tourmaline is the name for a group of crystalline boron silicate minerals. This mineral species was identified by mineralogists in the 1800s. Its name comes from mid 18th century French, based on Sinhalese “tōramalli”.

Tourmaline becomes electrically charged when heated. It is also piezoelectric (creates electricity under pressure). Tourmalines often have striations along their sides, and can form a three sided point-like apex, called a “Mercedes” formation due to the similarity to the Mercedes car logo.

Tourmaline can be found occurring in more colours and colour combinations than any other gemstone in the world! Tourmaline’s 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.
