Tourmaline (multi-color) (ex Rolando Gioia Collection) (4.01 grams)

Item Description

Here we have a beautiful crystal of multi-color Tourmaline with lustrous, striated prism faces and good internal gemminess. The majority of the crystal shows a soft yellow-green hue, but if you look closely, there are small areas of pale blue and pink that can be seen in areas. The piece is in pretty good shape, though there is a tiny bit of roughness along the prism, but it's complete all the way around, and would make a nice addition to any Tourmaline suite, a gem crystal collection, or a Brazilian collection. The piece weighs 4.01 grams. Classic material and great quality from the standpiont of color. From the collection of Rolando Gioia (a contributor to new definitive book on Brazilian minerals: "Minerais e Pedras Preciosas do Brasil").
