Item Description
An adorable bi-colored tourmaline from the famous Pederneira Mine and the Art Soregaroli Collection. The artistic jackstraw cluster of crystals is dramatically capped by the cluster of beautiful, gemmy, lavender lepidolite crystals. The lustrous, striated tourmalines are gemmy to translucent and have colors ranging from teal-blue to bottle-green to olive-green. AND some of the terminations are purple. The large crystal is doubly terminated. Complete all-around and nearly pristine. The primary and main side car crystals are pristine. Two small secondary side cars have broken tips and you can see the impression on the large side car, where the broken secondary side car once lay. A striking and very fine tourmaline. Valued at $1000-1250.
