Item Description
A fantastic, GEM/gemmy, highly lustrous, rich blue-green color (with a minor pink zone at the base of the crystal), prismatic crystal group from the famed Pederneira mine in Brazil. These Tourmalines are some of the most prized and acclaimed Tourmalines from any mine in the world. The specimen is in wonderful condition, and is absolutely WATER-CLEAR in areas. It has a beautiful, sharp, somewhat steep, pyramidal termination. The piece is just gorgeous in person, as it looks like a blue-green glass pencil. An excellent small cabinet size GEM Tourmaline specimen for any collector. Valued at $1500-2000.
