Item Description
A cute gemmy and lustrous, watermelon tourmaline miniature from recent finds at the famous Pederneira Mine. The cranberry-red/pink core is sheathed in gem, bottle-green tourmaline. The lightly etched, olive-green, pyramidal termination is striking and is a nice touch. Complete all-around, the contacting, with no damage, per se, is noted on one side and is out of sight. A beautiful and highly representative watermelon tourmaline from this noted locale.
