Item Description

A classic old-time bi-colored red gem tourmaline from the famous Cruzeiro Mine. The gemmy translucent termination is a luscious deep pink, when backlit. The crystal is technically terminated as this broken end is rehealed. The mid-section is water-clear gray (hard to see) on this glassy, well-striated crystal. The broken base holds a deep rose-red gem nodule. This is classic old-time quality dating to the 1960s or 70s. 20 grams mass.
