In 30+ years as a mineral dealer, I have only hand a handful of Jonas Mine tourmalines. When people get them, they do not let them go! This piece displays the wonderful color the Jonas mine rubellites are famous for. The largest crystal is a deep --- almost cranberry --- red, while the side crystals are various shades of reddish pink. Blooms of distinctive silvery mica hang off the tourmalines. There is no damage on this piece and, in fact, all of the crystals are terminated including the bottom of the specimen. If you were at Tucson last year, a HUGE tourmaline from this find was on display at the Westward look for many millions of dollars. This is a piece of mining history --- mining lore. It measures 4.5 x 2.8 x 2.8 cm.
