A truly gemmy, sharp tourmaline crystal from around 2002-2003 mining at the re-activated Pederneira Mine. It is pristine, sharp, and so symmetric that it looks carved and beveled. Now, mining for tourmaline here is basically done, with the productive zone of recent workings blasted out through the pegmatite on 3 sides. This particular crystal was put away by one of the partners in the mining venture in a stash, just released. Pristine and complete 360 degrees around.
