Item Description

A stunning, adorable and colorful bi-colored tourmaline thumbnail from the famous Cruzeiro Mine. This striking cutie looks like a telescope, ray gun or pistol! The dramatically angled large crystal is doubly terminated and the crystals are gemmy and lustrous. Vivid pink, bottle-green, cranberry-red and a beautiful inner core of teal-blue in the lower crystal really jump out under bright light. The partial secondary overgrowth of pink on one end of the doubly terminated crystal is noteworthy. It lights up, when backlit! Outstanding older tourmaline from the 1960s or 70s finds. A competition-level beauty.
