Item Description
The pics say it all here - this is simply a gorgeous polychrome tourmalien from classic 1960s-1970s finds at the Santa Rosa Mine. Obtained in Brazil in the 1970s by Dr. Steve Smale, this is from his collection. The crystal is pristine except for only one tiny nick on a back edge of the termination, glassy, and GLOWS with color. Valued $2000-2400
