San Diego mines produce tho finest
tourmalnes IN the world. and they are,
perhaps. the best known and most beau
t:ful of all this galaxy of jewels. This
exquisite gem Is found In almost every
color and combination of colors, perhaps
the most popular being the rubellitc,
which includes every shade Of pink and
red; then there Is the green or chrysolite,
as 1t Is called / indicolte, for tho blue. and
all the varying combinations of color.
The tourmalne crystals are remarka-
bic for their varied and beautiful group
ings OF colors. Some are internally blue
or brown, surrounded by bright car
mine red, or dull yellow; others are red
internally, enyeloped by green exterior;
crystals arc sometimes pink at the sum-
nit and green at the base. or crimson,
tipped with black or white sheyiing to-
green, and then to red No gem enjoys
such suite of colors as tho tourmallne.

found In San Diego county. IN the famous
