Item Description
A classic and dramatically sculptural 360-degree small cabinet cluster of opposing two-toned tourmaline crystals from the famous Cruzeiro Mine. The mine is famous for bottle-green with schorl accents, polychrome and rubellite tourmalines. This stunning, artistic bottle-green cabinet of lustrous, gemmy/translucent, striated prisms is dominated by the imposing 3.3 cm upright trigonal monolith. The striking "arms" on both sides reach 4.5 cm. The large crystal GLOWS, when backlit! Complete all-around and in super shape, for all the crystal density. This is an outstanding old-time Cruzeiro tourmaline from the 1960s-70s finds. Valued at $2500-3000. A centerpiece , one of the finer old specimens from the private tourmaline collection of Chicago-based dealers Henry and Patsy Schmidt.
