A gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored tourmaline from the Cruzeiro Mine and Steve Smale Collection. The gemmy body is a rich, cranberry-red with a green termination and a green zone, near the base. The termination has an interesting, undamaged, cavity, where another crystal once was. There is a super, gem, cranberry nodule at the base. This is definitely old-time material from the 1960s or 1970s from this renowned pegmatite. Complete-all-around and pristine. Weighs 32 grams.
