Lovely Faced off chunk of natural untreated Lepidolite, with a number of Pink Tourmaline cristals showing on the outside. This is from the Pala Tourmaline Mining District in San Diego, probably either from the Gems of Pala Mine, or the Himalya Mine, would be my guess. I used to buy this stuff at the (G of P) mine from Blue Sheppard, 25 years ago. The tourmaline cristals tend to run all the way thru this class of lepidolite, there should be plenty more inside the stone.
This piece came out of an old Calif rockhound collection.
