For today’s Exhibit of the Day, let’s visit one of the finest large mineral crystals ever found. This is the Tarugo, a dazzling elbaite tourmaline. This large gem measures 33.5 inches (85 cm) in length and weighs 180 pounds (82 kg)! The Tarugo is notable for its exceptional quality and unique cranberry color.
