Item Description
The prolific Pederneira Mine in Brazil has been a powerhouse producer of some of the most iconic Tourmaline specimens in the world for decades. The locality is celebrated for its superior Tourmaline crystals of high quality and size, occurring in a rainbow of colors. This is a classic gemmy "pencil" of Indicolite Tourmaline from circa 2010 finds. The highly lustrous, striated, steel-blue prismatic trigonal crystal is VERY GEMMY (and even WATER CLEAR in areas). There is one clean repair on the crystal, which is certainly acceptable in the context of pegmatite species. VERY DIFFICULT to photograph correctly with the gemminess, glassiness, high luster and striations. Specimen weight is 7.0 grams. A fine, classic gem Pederneira Indicolite. Priced at $1,000 in the inventory.
