Smoky Quartz and Toumaline (superb) ex Larson coll

Item Description

Fabulous combination specimens of tourmaline and smoky quartz from the famous Pederneira Mine are very rare and highly desirable. Gemmy and lustrous, pretty teal-blue indicolite tourmalines are embedded on and in a surreal, water-clear, doubly terminated, flattened, spearpoint smoky quartz crystal with striking bevel edges. The long pencil on the lower right is 4.9 cm and the upper termination is pristine. The tourmaline at the tip is 3.1cm and has a pristine termination. The fat indicolite on the left side is 2.5 cm and the frontal termination is pristine. The termination on the tourmaline below the pencil is very gently bruised, but is not noticeable in the display view. Incredibly, the floater smoky is complete all-around and is essentially pristine, with only infinitesimal edgewear. Unique in my experience with the Pederneira. Valued at $1800-2000 minimum. ex William Larson collection
