A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous example of recent finds from the Pederneira Mine. This classic, polychrome tourmaline has a well-striated, striking teal-blue body. The very interesting, 3-sided, pyramidal termination is olive-green and has a very thin, very dark green or black outer zone. Background lighting easily penetrates the thin darker, outer layer of the termination. The base is etched, so this is actually a sceptered tourmaline. This is an excellent and gorgeous indicolite tourmaline from this renowned locale. Weighs 22 grams.
