Item Description

A stunning,bi-colored, red gem tourmaline from a NEW January, 2011 find at the famous Cruzeiro Mine! The limpid body is a pleasing cranberry-pink and the complex pinacoidal termination is cranberry-red, like famous Jonas Mine tourmalines. The body and termination also have inclusions of lighter pink tourmaline. Complete all-around and pristine. One side is partially contacted, has no damage, per se and is barely noticeable, as the crystal is so gemmy. Red tourmalines have always been very highly desirable and here is your chance to get a real beauty from a brand-new find. 8 grams. This was ONE pocket.
