Description:A really nifty polychrome tourmaline from recent finds at the famous Pederneira Mine. The crystals are very glassy, lustrous and well-striated. The crystal bodies look sea-green, but are actually, teal-blue, just like the gemmy areas below the terminations. Pocket fluids nearly etched out the interiors of these crystals, up to the gemmy, teal-blue zones. The highly lustrous terminations are either very dark purple or black. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, the trivial edgewear is noted, but is a very modest detraction. These are often called "retrograde" tourmalines. Striking and unusual material. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
