Item Description

The famous Cruzeiro Mine has produced some outstanding Brazilian tourmalines and this is really a cute and aesthetic example. The gemmy and lustrous, well-striated body is a pretty bottle green grading up to very dark green at the termination. The diverging cluster of intergrown crystals has a most dramatic termination of multiple crystals highlighted by the striking single smokestack crystal! Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only one spot of trivial side wear noted. Classic old material from the 1960s or 70s. 5 grams.
