Building a mineral shelf one piece at a time? A pink tourmaline point with its matrix still attached is a good next step.
This one is narrow from the front, about 2 inches across, but deep, about 3 inches front to back, so it looks slim straight on and chunky from the side. That makes it easy to angle on a shelf to show off the best face. Polishing reveals the pink tourmaline crystal set into the surrounding rock, and no two sides look quite alike. It is a manageable size for a desk or a nightstand and a natural pick for an October birthday or an eighth anniversary. This is the exact point you see.
Dimensions are about 4.5 inches tall, 2 inches wide and 3 inches deep. The ruler photo shows the size.
Tourmaline is a large group of boron silicate minerals, and elbaite, the lithium bearing species, is behind most colored gem tourmaline. Manganese produces its pinks and reds. Pink to red tourmaline often shows more visible inclusions than green or blue material, and tourmaline is an October birthstone as well as the gem for the eighth wedding anniversary.
Stone Meaning: Pink tourmaline is traditionally associated with love and compassion.
