Here is a rare and beautiful gemstone from Maine! This is a Tourmaline from Mt Mica, and the crystal was mined nearly 100 years ago. The original crystal was a bicolor yellow and orange. Both colors are rare for Tourmaline, however, from Maine they are nearly unheard of. This stone is a light yellow color that is brilliant! It has been fantasy cut to create the pattern in the center of the stone. I would not call this a coffin shape, it resembles an Egyptian sarcophagus more! This is a natural North American gemstone that cannot be replaced! This stone was created by Brett Kosnar of Kosnar Gem Co., during January 2024. Enjoy!
