This is another classic Cruzeiro tourmaline of old style, from the 1960s or 1970s. It has much more gemminess in person but you can get an idea from the pictures. The color grades from the classic cranberry cap (in this case with a nicely bevelled termination) through several layers of pinks and slightly lavender hue. At the bottom is a hint of blue color, which is unusual 7.6 x 1.3 x 1cm
