Item Description
A gorgeous, gem, teal-blue, indicolite tourmaline from a BRAND NEW find at famed Barra de Salinas in January, 2011! The pretty, water-clear, well-striated, is flattened with parallel-growth and has mutiple terminations. The pearlescent 1.0 cm long lepidolite column attached near the base is a nifty accent. Complete all-around and pristine, a tiny bit of lepidolite is embedded in the termination. A lovely indicolite from a classic Brazilian locale, that has not produced much lately. 34.78 carats or very nearly 7 grams. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
