Item Description
A nifty, doubly terminated, polychrome, sceptered tourmaline from the famous Barra de Salinas pegmatites of Brazil. The termination on the beautifully gemmy, emerald-green end is broken, but healed. The lustrous crystal grades downward to indicolite-blue to pastel-green to light teal-blue at the bottom termination, which is heavily etched, with many points. There is a bit of pocket clay and putty embedded in this termination. Complete all-around and pristine. 5 grams. Ex Wes Parker Collection.
