An INCREDIBLE and AESTHETIC CABINET tourmaline cluster from the famous Pederneira Mine of Brazil. The crystals are gemmy, lustrous, and multicolored. The vertical 10 CM crystal is cranberry-cored at the base, grades up to blue-gray and has a cranberry-colored pyramidal termination. The accessory tourmaline crystals are also cranberry-cored and are blue-gray. A VISUALLY STUNNING PIECE with 4 expert repairs by Collectors Edge. This material came out about 3 years ago in the early periood of modernizing and re-mining the Pederneira in which several companies were involved. This style of tourmaline from here is unique to that time frame and was not found before or since. Pretty much all of them occurred in pieces and had to be put back together but to my mind clean repairs are OK so long as disclosed, in these magnificent clusters. 10.0 x 8.0 x 3.4 cm
