DT, bent, Tourmaline

Item Description

A very showy, bi-colored tourmaline from recent Pederneira Mine finds (fall 2009). This complete all-around, doubly terminated, gemmy and lustrous beauty is zoned green and teal-blue. The highly lustrous, upper termination is black and the basal termination, with a matte finish, was broken by pocket forces, but healed. The two, protruding, tourmaline "fins" and the clearly visible slight bending at each end are super accents. Very nearly pristine, a minute bit of termination edgewear is noted, but is barely noticeable. A classic and beautiful Pederneira tourmaline. 18 grams.
