A classic form of tourmaline, immediately recognizable as Barra Do Salinas because of the pattern of colors and the scepter atop. This gorgeous gem crystal is totally transparent, and would look incredible standing up in a custom base. It is 8 grams. Classic old material from Brazil, now nearly impossible to find an example of.
