Item Description

A gorgeous, gem, bi-colored tourmaline from the famous Cruziero Mine. The vivid pink terminations are a fabulous contrast against the water-clear, pretty bottle-green, tapered, parallel-growth, crystal cluster. The two, strikinginly different terminations, one pink-tipped and the other green, really add character to this decidedly first-class tourmaline. Complete all-around and nearly pristine. A trivial bit of termination wear and termination edgewear are noted, along with contacting lower on one side, but with no damage, per se. The limpid quality of the crystal and vivid color saturation variations make this an outstanding example of the species and renowned locale. 11 grams. Classic Cruzeiro. Valued at $1000-1250.
