Is this Tourmaline a new one from Bill's mining effort or a really old one? |
This is from the latest mining efforts. |
Thank you. It is nice to see new ones coming out of San Diego county again. That is where I started collecting minerals some 50 years ago.

I know that it is a hard struggle with some specimens to get a good photo, and such a vibrant red crystal with lustrous surface was for sure not an easy task - but you managed it perfectly.
