HelIo!
I choose a tourmaline from Vietnam - my country as the first photo to start my topic.
I acquired this tourmaline this year, when I traveled in Vietnam to visit my family and passed the Vietnamese new year there. I had it by chance !
This tourmaline has the "Usambara" Effect - Color Change.
(For information, the dice's size is 1,5 cm)

Hi, Tran, Carles, List
Just curious, but Ushambara effect has not only been seen in tourmalines from Ushambara?
Tran, in your tourmaline I see not the reds that Ushambara effect produces...
May anyone be so kind to help?
With best wishes
Lluís

Beautiful Tran
I am glad you are on our list for personal reasons. I have enjoyed this list because it unites many of us across the globe. You are special because I was in Vietnam during the unhappier times of the late 60's and early 70's. Under much less enjoyable circumstance. No matter what happened we are united in our humanity and love of minerals and that is good enough for me now that years have passed. Welcome to the group.

Hi, Tran
My deepest congratulations!
Very nice effect!
And very nice crystal!
Till now what I have seen on Ushambara specimens are just broken crystals, with some faces.
Your is first full crystal I have seen, and of course, not from Ushambara!
Again, my congratulations
With best wishes

| I like the titanite and have pieces somewhat similar with chlorite on the surface. Many of my Alpine samples come this way.

Sorry, but you are not allowed by the system to leave the message body empty. However, this must not be a big problem. Just write something like "Here are several more photos..." or, still better, fill it with a detailed description of the specimen(s) figured in your pictures.
