PostPosted: Jun 06, 2025 06:21    Post subject: Tourmaline Namibia?  
At a small mineral show, a small piece caught my attention. It was labeled: 'Tourmaline Namibia.' I couldn't find any similar pieces on Mindat. Is there anyone who recognizes this and perhaps knows more about where this piece might come from in terms of location? It is definitely tourmaline, dark green in color—I'm not in doubt about the mineral type, but rather about the locality.
Thanks, Mathias.
