Gem Indicolite Tourmaline (9 grams)

Item Description

A gorgeous large gem bi-colored indicolite tourmaline from circa 2010 finds at the renowned Pederneira Mine. This beauty is water-clear gem throughout, with no internal layering. The flattened trigonal crystal is super glassy, lustrous and striated. The body is a classic teal-blue, with a striking accenting 7 mm teal-green upper section below the etched, matte purple-cap pinacoidal termination. Complete all-around and nearly pristine. An edge bruise just below the termination is out-of-sight in the primary display view and the contact on one side at the base, where another crystal once lay, has no damage per se. The single clean repair 2.7 cm above the base is certainly acceptable in the context of pegmatite species. A classic large bi-colored indicolite from the locale with superlative gemminess. 9 grams mass. MUCH better in person!!
