A SUPERB, GEM, emerald-green tourmaline crystal from Virgem da Lapa, Brazil. This killer crystal has a complex pyramidal termination, that is achroic or colorless. Very nearly pristine, with only the faintest bruising on one termination edge. This is a CLASSIC, OLD-TIMER that Ed Ruggiero bought from Pala Properties in 1976. 28 grams. This material came out briefly from Virgem da Lapa and not again in such quality here.
