Item Description

A fantastic, GEM/gemmy, beautiful blue color prismatic crystal 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. The best part of the piece is that it's slightly "bent" near the termination, which is actually where it was somewhat broken in the pocket and rehealed! The piece is just gorgeous in person, and even has a gem "nodule" at the base of the crystal. An excellent small cabinet size GEM Tourmaline specimen for any collector. Valued at $1500.
