Tourmaline var. Elbaite

Item Description

An oldtimer, which came to us in the old collection material of a deceased dealer, this is a classic multicolored tourmaline from the Cruzeiro Mine. It probably came out in the 1960s-1970s era of mining here, when few such crystals were preserved, let alone intact. The style certainly is not in keeping with the modern matieral which we hav eseen, and could be dated to the 1980s and later. The piece is complete all around, and free of any repairs. 32 grams. Valued $2500. Comes with custom lucite display base.
