Item Description

A gorgeous, 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 unusual, scalloped, pinacoidal termination is cranberry-red, like famous Jonas Mine tourmalines. Complete all-around and nearly pristine. Super-trivial, barely noticeable side wear and out of sight scuffing at the base are noted. 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.
