Item Description
A stunning, bi-colored, red gem tourmaline from the famous Cruzeiro Mine! The limpid lower section is a pleasing cranberry-pink and the upper half with 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 very nearly pristine, with only miniscule termination edge wear. Red tourmalines have always been very highly desirable and here is your chance to get a real beauty from the classic old finds of the 1960s and 70s. 21 grams.
