Item Description

A GEM of a deal of two bi-colored, red gem tourmaline from a NEW January, 2011 find at the famous Cruzeiro Mine! The limpid bodies are a pleasing cranberry-pink and the complex pinacoidal terminations are cranberry-red, like famous Jonas Mine tourmalines. The terminations also have inclusions of lighter pink tourmaline. The taller crystal is complete all-around and pristine and the smaller one is very nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of termination edge wear. Both crystals have gem nodules at their bases. Red tourmalines have always been very highly desirable and here is your chance to get a PAIR of real beauties from a brand-new find. 22 grams total weight, 11 grams each. This was ONE pocket. This is an excellent PAIR from this find and should not sell cheaply.
