Bar Harbor gets its name from the sand and gravel bar that shows at low tide, connecting the town with Bar Island just off shore. At low tide you can walk to the island. Tourists are warned to watch the tide because it comes in fast and it’s easy to get trapped on the island. Here, Eureka tourmaline is captured between the two bars.
Gems and jewelry of the Eureka Blue Tourmaline find are coming to an end. This is one of the last pieces of jewelry available from this historic discovery.
Eureka Blue tourmaline came to first light September 24, 2009 with the opening of gem pocket #1 on Plumbago Mountain, Newry, Maine. What quickly followed was the opening of a series of additional gem pockets yielding the rarest and most desirable of all colors of tourmaline…blue!
Eureka Blue is a unique shade of tealy blue-green tourmaline. It has been described as the color of the twilight sky at winter solstice. This find of winter teal gems is yielding some of the most sought-after cut and polished Maine tourmaline we have ever had the privilege to offer.

Our extended ninety days, for a small business, is almost unheard of. Truth is, we shop for gifts too, and rather than scrambling at the last minute and feeling the tension of time, we like this more relaxed approach. We wish everyone did something like this… it would be a kinder, gentler world.
