Item Description

A beautiful, bi-colored, GEM tourmaline from recent finds at the famous Pederniera Mine of Brazil. Most of this lustrous beauty is a very pleasing teal-blue, which grades upward to emerald-green, near the termination. The steep pyramidal termination is black on this excellent crystal. The core of the base is pink, so this is actually a watermelon termination and there is also a cleavelandite blade there. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of termination edgeewear. A classic Pederneira bi-color tourmaline. 14 grams.
