This is a mini mountain. Maine tourmaline is found in the western mountains of Maine. Some of the locations just outside of Portland are called mountains. Some would laugh at how little they are, this is the mini part…and yet world-class gems have been found in these foothills. The gem in the center of this necklace is a Sparhawk mint-green-teal Maine Tourmaline. When you stand at the Sparhawk mine with vortex binoculars you can see the Mt. Apetite farm across the valley. Mt. Apetite hill is just a little bit bigger than the hill at the Sparhawk mine and yet both locations have yielded beautiful gems.
So here we have a triangle, my second favorite shape, surrounded with a tight row of diamonds. It looks awesome. Through the articulated bail loop at the top we have threaded a Cross petite tiff chain. The look is fine genuine Maine tourmaline and natural earth-mined diamonds. Wear this and be at one with Maine.
If you went to the Sparhawk mine it’s 25 miles north of Portland. If you went to the Plumbago tourmaline mine it’s 75 miles north of Portland. Maine is full of beautiful gems.

I’ve always dreamed of a gem find like this. To have this mine be so close to home, just 28 miles north of our store in the mountains of western Maine, is amazing. Gems so fine, so pure, with colors so vivid. It’s important someone documents this historic gem find here in Maine, because it’s a history-making discovery in the world of gems.
The video above is 1:43. It gives you a good idea of the excitement we feel for the gems we are discovering here in Maine.
Maine has been world-famous for the tourmaline gems mined here for over 200 years. The geology in our western mountains has yielded a treasure trove of world class gems. Cross Jewelers has been the Maine state leader, bringing fine Maine tourmaline jewelry to all of America for over 100 years.
We have over 200 pieces of Maine tourmaline jewelry from both the SparHawk mine and other Maine mines.
