A Great American Success Story The Havey Tourmaline Mine is Producing Again
One of Maine’s most legendary tourmaline mines laid fallow for nearly 100 years, then a young guy came along with faith and vision, bought the property, and began exploring for gems again, and as they say, “The rest is history”.
We are pleased to report the old gem mine is now producing SparHawk Mint Green Teal Tourmaline in Poland, Maine – the world’s newest tour- maline find, and at the moment the most important tourmaline discovery in the world.
SparHawk Mint Green Teal Tourmaline is a rare color of green, the result of a unique chemistry of the rock in this part of Maine. This chemistry has created the brightest, most brilliant gemmy green tourmaline we’ve ever had the privilege to offer.
Since this new discovery, we’ve created a significant collection of SparHawk tourmaline jewelry which is on display in our Portland, Maine store. Recently installed is our own little Maine gem museum which we call Cross’s Hall of Gems featuring some of the best gem mining video footage ever taken of Maine tourmaline.
When you visit our store you may view our Hall of Gems on your own or if it is a quiet moment in our store, ask for a personal 10-minute guided tour of our Hall of Gems, (free). Available during 2015-2016.
