A beautiful specimen from recent finds at the Pederneira Mine. Pearlescent florets of snow-white cleavelandite blades aesthetically surround a lustrous, cranberry and green tourmaline. The very sculptural quality and contrast of the cleavelandite against the tourmaline make for an excellent Pederneira combination specimen.
