The Source For The Finest Quality Pink Tourmaline In The World

The western mountains of Maine are the source of the world's finest pink tourmaline. Plumbago Mountain, near Newry, Maine, was the site of the most important gem find ever in North America, when, in 1972, over 3 million carats of gem quality tourmaline was discovered there.

Cross Jewelers is proud to offer the world's largest collection of fine Ma~ne Tourmalfue jewelry, spanning the entire range of pinks and greens found in our state, from delicate pastels to rich deep greens and luscious burgundies. You'll love the wide selection of styles, from classic to contemporary, with prices ranging from $95.00 to $6,500.00.

This year, be sure to include Cross Jewelers in your visit to Maine. You'll see why people from all over the country call Cross Maine Tourmaline "the prettiest part of Maine you've ever seen."
