A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, "red-tip," polychrome tourmaline scepter from the Cruzeiro Mine. The lustrous, cranberry-red, pyramidal termination grades downward to a very gemmy pleasing green to a teal-blue zone. Below the teal-blue zone, the crystal is actually a sceptered watermelon tourmaline with part of the green outer layer etched away revealing the pink core. This crystal is complete-all-around and pristine. This is classic, old, 1960s-1970s material from this renowned locale. Ex. Steve Smale Collection. Weighs 7 grams.
