Uvite Tourmaline - rare red color

Item Description

An adorable stacked thumbnail of equant, lustrous uvite crystals from the famous 1990's finds at Brumado. The glassy, gemmy/translucent crystals are a rich wine-red in normal light, but GLOW with cherry-red color saturation, when backlit. Red uvites are the most desirable of these Brazilian classics. Comes with a Roberts Minerals label, who brought most of this material to the US market. Very high quality, as Ken priced this at $300, over 20 years ago.
