Item Description

A dramatic, sculptural and surreal large tourmaline pseudomorph from Minas Gerais and the Paul Zerfass Collection # 872. Shimmering chatoyant multi-hued, slightly translucent lepidolite lathes have replaced most of the impressive large heavily etched dark olive-green opposing tourmaline crystals! Only part of one end retains the original tourmaline. A fascinating and certainly most unusual large 360-degree Brazilian tourmaline pseudo!
