Luxullianite

Luxullianite is a type of feldspar granite notable for the presence of radiating groups of tiny tourmaline crystals.

The name originates from the village of Luxullian in Cornwall, where this type of granite is found. It may be seen in the Duke of Wellington's monument at Saint Paul's Cathedral in London.
