Description:A pleasing green, gemmy and lustrous, doubly terminated, tourmaline from a NEW 2009 find at the famous Pederneira Mine is partially wrapped and sprinkled with sparkly, pastel-pink, lepidolite crystals. The steeply pyramidal, dark green termination is strangely etched. The basal termination of the two crystals was broken by pocket forces, healed, partially etched/hollowed out and filled with scattered lepidolite crystals! Nifty and pristine. 16 grams.
