Item Description
Stunningly gemmy from top to bottom, with very beautiful and unusual color! This important old tourmaline is a classic of the 1960s finds at Virgem da Lapa, showing a vibrant hue that is unique to this day. I can recognize a Virgem da Lapa of this style anywhere on sight, it is so unusual. Most of it is lavender, with pink at the top. Complete all around, with a fine, sharp termination. Super luster too. A bit of contacting is noted at the base, but with no damage, per se. Ex. Zukowski Collection. 6.5 grams. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
