A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, parallel-growth, "red-tip," polychrome tourmaline from the Cruzeiro Mine. The gemmy, wine-red pinacoidal terminations grade downward to a pleasing purplish-red to a very gemmy, bluish-greenish-gray at the base. This striking crystal is exceptional in that it is slightly bent. This specimen is complete-all-around and pristine. This is classic, old 1960s-1970s material from this renowned locale. Ex. Steve Smale Collection. Weighs 20 grams.
