A big, thick crystal of tourmaline from Coronel Murta, weighing 108 grams. It has a very gemmy body that lights up a pretty bright green under good light, and towards the top, turns an intense pink. The beveled, pyramidal termination has some natural etch pits or growth anomalies, but is complete and undamaged. These came out around 2000-2001 and were one single unique pocket, never matched since for the combination of color pattern and intensity.
