Polychrome Tourmaline

Item Description

A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous example of recent finds from the famous Pederneira Mine. This classic, polychrome tourmaline has a well-striated, striking teal-blue body. The very interesting, 3-sided, pyramidal termination is olive-green and has a very thin, very dark green or black outer zone. Background lightling easily penetrates the thin darker, outer layer of the termination. The trivial edgewear is noted and is barely noticeable. The base is etched, so this is actually a sceptered tourmaline. This is an excellent and gorgeous indicolite tourmaline from this renowned locale. 22 grams.
