Jolly Green Giant tourmaline

Figure 7. One of the most spectacular specimens discovered at the Newry quarries is this tourmaline dubbed the "Jolly Green Giant." With a girth about equivalent to a soda can and a height of about 8 inches it is certainly one of the most outstanding specimens ever mined in Maine.
