Item Description

This slice shows a strange, very unusual occurrence with side by side tourmalines being so different from one another. Just a bizarre oddity from Brazilyou look at it and think surely this cannot be legitimate, but there you have it. This cost us around $100 in Brazil, as a curiosity. I think to the tourmaline nuts, it is worth far more and is a very interesting piece worth getting.
