A second, smaller rounded black tourmaline crystal sits nearby, giving a nice sense of scale and repetition against the pale host rock. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Bayer's Lake pegmatites near Halifax are associated with the South Mountain Batholith, the largest granitoid body in the entire Appalachian Mountain range, formed during the Late Devonian period roughly 370 million years ago and stretching from the Annapolis Basin all the way to Mount Uniacke, near Halifax. As this vast granite mass cooled, late-stage mineral-rich fluids concentrated into pegmatite pockets around its margins, crystallizing coarse-grained feldspar, quartz, and tourmaline like the specimen here. It's a locality tied to one of Atlantic Canada's most significant geological formations, and pieces like this offer a tangible connection to that deep continental history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eYou will receive the exact specimen photographed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinerals: Black Tourmaline, Feldspar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocality: Bayer's Lake pegmatites, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 2 x 1.3 x 1 in | Weight: 42g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay: Freestanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Natural, undamaged formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atelier Lithic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50533846581460,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9021\/0260\/files\/7DBFA0A4-1308-49CE-9E7D-2E2F0EB14783_1_102_o.jpg?v=1790304125","url":"https:\/\/www.atelierlithic.com\/products\/black-tourmaline-feldspar-nova-scotia-canada","provider":"Atelier Lithic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
