[QUOTE="22shells, post: 372885, member: 3817"] Thanks Lefty and SWright. I've looked at it with my little microscope and I can't say for sure that it's tourmaline, I think it's probably not. So it could be something else, maybe chlorite or biotite as SWright suggested. Must be a reason why it formed right up the middle. Tourmaline and rutile seem to often be randomly placed in crystals on different angles. Got me wondering now if there would be any more like that there or if it was just a one off. Also I initially thought it would be a good one to cut, now I'm thinking maybe I should just leave it as it is. [/QUOTE]
