Item Description

An eye-catching, group of sharp, lustrous, gemmy prismatic Indicolite Tourmaline crystals which show a lovely blue hue on the edges of the prisms, with a bit of a pinkish-purple coloring in the center. The main crystal is in good shape, but the smaller sidecar crystal at the top is contacted. Very attractive and a decent pickup for anybody who likes Tourmalines, gem crystals or Brazilian minerals. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
