Summary

Description
English: Elbaite
Locality: Dunton Gem Quarry, Newry, Oxford County, Maine, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 2.7 x 1.5 x 0.8 cm.
This is a classic steeply terminated crystal from the famous 1972 glory hole at Dunton, collected by Mann and friends at that time (1972-1974). It is very gemmy and exceptionally symmetric as most of these skew into lumpiness. In fact, I cannot say as I have seen a more pointed termination, so sharp and steep, on one of these. It is also a perfectly sized full thumbnail from a find which produced many larger pieces and few choice thumbnail specimens. Lastly, it is extremely gemmy and totally transparent. Note the classic green hue with a slight hint of blue, as well. So again, this is a classic, representative example for these finds; and frankly quite rare in thumbnail size. From the specialized Maine thumbnail collection of Jim Mann.
