Item Description
A striking, old-time, bi-colored, Cruzeiro tourmaline crystal cluster. The gem upper section is beautifully juicy, pleasing cranberry-pink with a darker cranberry-red termination. The lower portions of the crystals are gemmy/translucent. Both terminations are pristine. Complete all-around, with trivial contacting and bruising noted at the base, mostly on the back side. Red, bi-colored Cruzeiro crystals of this quality came out in the 1960s and 70s and are very uncommon and are highly desired. 7 grams. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
