Maine’s Official Tourmaline Necklace Takes Two Tacks
One necklace in Maine shows great vision for the future as well as some degree of short-sightedness. The Maine Tourmaline Necklace was beautifully crafted by Maine artisan Addison Saunders using local gold and tourmaline. In 1977, the necklace was donated to the State of Maine and presented to the Maine State Museum “for the First Lady’s use at official functions.”
