Item Description
Three beautiful, gemmy, bi-colored tourmalines from three different pockets from the famous Pederneira Mine. The gemmy left crystal has a gorgeous cranberry-red termination above the blue-gray body. The colorful central crystal has a vivid pink core surrouded by a blue-gray rind, that is embedded with tiny tourmalines and pink lepidolties. A teal-green section lies below the teal-blue termination with a purple frosted matte pinacoidal face. The gem right crystal has a pretty pastel-pink core with a blue-gray rind followed by very gemmy light indicolite-blue section below the near colorless termination, that is strikingly embedded with two small terminated tourmalines. The crystals are pristine, with two having contacts, with no damage, per se. Triple your Pederneira pleasure with this cute, colorful and unusual trio from the Uwe Strauss Collection. 43 grams total mass or 11, 11 and 21 grams respectively.
