A transparent green Tourmaline crystal and purple Lepidolite attached to a Quartz crystal from the Himalaya Mine in San Diego, California. The Tourmaline is gemmy and perfect except for a small amount of chipping along the termination. The Lepidolite is translucent to transparent with excellent color. Overall a very aesthetic and colorful specimen and a classic California pegmatite specimen.
