Ill take a guess,Maine or NH.

I live in NH. it's more of a Western Maine gem stone. It's usually found from Bethel ME. to Norway ME. There are many mines in that corridor. I know, one side of my family comes from that area. Spent a lot of time rock hounding there when I was younger.

Take a look in the white mountains if you never have,youll be surprised.

I'll have to, so far I've just found gold. But I do like minerals too! I do have some nice specimans.

I found it at an estate sale here in California. I believe it is local. There were other rocks and crystals with that are local.

If it has good color and few internal flaws you have some money there.ive seen top quality pink tourmaline go for roughly 200 a carat,green 60 to 110 a carat.a lot depends on the prices though.

Yes, California also has tourmaline. It ranges from Watermelon to blue , clear, pink ,and green
