Tourmaline from (Himalaya Mine), Mesa Grande District, San Diego County, Pink and Green. It weighs 54 grams, and is 2 1/4"  tall and 3/4" across at its base.This piece was mined in 2013 and has been repaired, a very good repair. The Himalaya mine was  first discovered in 1898, and produced gem and 

specimen grade tourmaline . During the early 1900s, Maine and California were the world's largest producers of gem tourmalines. The Empress Dowager Cixi of China loved pink tourmaline and bought large quantities for gemstones and carvings from the then new Himalaya Mine, located in San Diego County, California.*-
