Gem Watermelon Tourmaline (Irv Brown Coll.)

Item Description

An absolute jewel of a gem watermelon tourmaline thumbnail from the famous Cruzeiro Mine. The strikingly limpid, extremely glassy and lustrous, well-striated beauty has fantastic steel-blue color accented with a beautiful soft pink core. This superb trigonal cutie is complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of termination edge wear. You might want to call this a watermelon indicolite! A superb and rare style bi-colored thumbnail from the 1960 to 80s finds. Ex Irv Brown Thumbnail Collection. 33.86 carats or over 6 grams mass. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON, as the extreme clarity and luster made photography difficult.
