Description:This region is probably best known for its unique green and pink "scepter" Tourmalines, which are also some of the most vibrant and gemmiest Tourmalines from any Brazilian locality. This pair of beautiful, very gemmy, prismatic crystals show four colors with a rich green hue at the terminations which grades into a small blue-green shade, then a notable colorless "Achroite" zone and a strong pink shade at the base of the crystals. A beautiful classic gem crystal display specimen from this well known region in Brazil.
