Tourmaline (Blue Gem Pocket 2006) Pederneira Mine

2

This one is a true marvel of a Tourmaline crystal specimen. Beautiful deep vibrant green to deep blues toward the terminations of the crystals. Nice clear gem zones that are transparent, and with mirror like luster! Along with the fact that there is absolutely no damage and no repairs/restorations on this specimen makes this crystal virtually perfect. I personally believe it to be from the “Blue Gem Pocket” from the Pederneira Mine, due to its resemblance to only this pocket and no other pocket from the legendary mine that it is confirmed to be from. Although the exact pocket is still unfortunately not confirmed, I absolutely love this specimen and its overall perfection is very pleasing to my OCD!

edit: This has now been confirmed to be from the Blue Gem Pocket (2006 Discovery) by Daniel Trinchillo
