Green Maine Tourmaline
Lobster Claw Necklace
This is perhaps the purest jewelry symbol of the State of Maine. If you live south of the Kittery bridge, if you think about your place in Maine, if you love a tranquil place on our shore fronting the Atlantic, if you lust after a lobster dinner, if you would love to live here year round, but can’t just yet, this necklace may be just the thing to tide you over. This necklace will provide a reminder of a place you love. When you wear the necklace, people will comment and you get to tell them your Maine story.
Being in lobster country you’d think we’d know the answer, but if you ask 10 Portland residents you’ll likely get 10 different recommendations.
There are too many variables to crown “the best” – toasted bun or plain roll, butter or mayo, simple or seasoned, warm or cold?
We offer our Cross staff favorites (most in the Portland area):
If you have a favorite Maine lobster roll destination, it will always be with you as you sport a Maine Tourmaline Lobster Claw Necklace.
Maine Tourmaline, A Maine Story
An American Gem
First discovered in 1820 and in subsequent finds over the years, these early discoveries put Maine on the world map as a source for high-quality tourmaline gems. A major discovery in 1972 on Plumbago Mountain in Newry, Maine established Maine as a significant world source of fine tourmaline gemstones.
Cross recognized the historical significance of this find and began working closely with the miners of these magnificent gems. The close partnership continues today with the ongoing discoveries in Maine’s western mountains.
100% Natural
We go to Maine’s gem mines. We know the miners. We know the gem cutters. We guarantee our tourmaline to be from Maine and is 100% natural. Cross maintains the largest collection of fine Maine tourmaline jewelry in the world.
Window of Opportunity
Fifty years have passed since the major 1972 tourmaline find in Newry, Maine where they found 3.5 million carats of tourmaline crystals. Over the years we bought more than we sold knowing that gem finds don’t last forever. There are now colors, sizes, and shapes that are extremely rare and, in some cases, no longer available. If you see something you love it’s best to act quickly. There’s no guarantee another gem like this one exists.
Case in point: In 2007 there was a find of tourmaline in Newry, Maine called Eureka Blue. People loved the color. The gems sold quickly, but the find was small and the mining only lasted a few seasons. Within three years of the discovery, all the large Eureka gems had sold. We still get calls from people who are now ready to buy. What they want, however, simply no longer exists from that find in 2007.
Gem finds are rare, especially in North America. Maine tourmaline is a piece of Maine and American history, it’s a connection to a place we all love, an exquisite creation of nature. Today, there is a rare opportunity to own a bit of Maine/American pride and heritage, and history in choosing a piece of Maine tourmaline jewelry.
