Description:A juicy, gemmy and lustrous, bent, bi-colored tourmaline from recent finds at the famous Pederneira Mine. The body of this well-striated beauty is a pleasing teal-blue. The sloped, olive-green termination is broken, healed and is overgrown with albite. The other end is a little bit greener and has a couple of purple lepidolite rosettes as nifty accents. The interior of this end has been significantly etched and hollowed out. There are even a couple of albite crystals in the interior! Unusual, but supremely showy material from this famed locale. 32 grams.
