Travel tourmaline hitting different… and somehow even more breathtaking in person

This is genuinely EPIC—an elite 38.13 gram “Washington D.C. Pocket” Tourmaline from the legendary Cruzeiro Mine, Brazil. A true collector’s piece with that unmistakable maroon-red rubellite core fused with vivid green, finished with razor-sharp, pristine terminations.

This famous pocket traces back to the late 1990s, when renowned collector Dr. Steve Smale acquired the entire find in Washington, D.C.—giving these crystals their now iconic name. Since then, they’ve become some of the most sought-after tourmalines in the fine mineral world.

What sets these apart is the combination of history, color, and form—complex growth, gemmy quality, and that unmistakable Cruzeiro brilliance. Pieces like this don’t just travel… they carry legacy.
