Description:These incredible, fancy-tipped tourmalines, reminiscent of Pech material, are in fact from a 2006 find at Coronel Murta, Brazil! They trickled out over the years, and now are completely done with. No more were found, and no hoards are left of them, i think. The small find yielded crystals of superb quality, with super gemmy and lustrous terminations, as you see here. The top zone has a rich golden, yellow color just under the cap, grading downward to a pleasing pink. GLASSY !!! Better and more obviously something really DIFFERENT in person...this is truly a stunning crystal from a major, small, important find! 9 grams. Valued $750-1000
