Take a walk-around look at a mineral specimen I call the Tugboat. It’s a doubly-terminated smoky quartz with milky quartz frosting. The crystal sporys a mass of very purple lepidolite out of which grew several gem tourmaline. Possibly 3 kg, this floater comes from the Oceanview Mine Kahuna pocket zone - probably the most colorful pocket area they’ve ever mined. #geology#pegmatites#quartz#tourmaline
