Tourmaline.
A very large specimen of Rubellite, or Red Tour­maline, from Burma, is exhibited in the Mineralogical Gallery of the British Museum (South Kensington). This unique group of crystals was presented by the King of Ava to Colonel Symes when on an embassy to that country, and has been valued at £1000. It has probably lost much of its original colour and value.
The author has received a very fine piece of reddish Tourmaline from the Cashmere Sapphire Mines and several pieces from the Burma Ruby Mines.
TOURMALINE.
