A beautiful, bi-colored, gem tourmaline from recent finds at the Pederniera Mine of Brazil. The lower half of this lustrous crystal is a very pleasing combination of teal-blue and green, which grades upward to emerald-green. The steep, black pyramidal termination with intriguing etched faces tops off this excellent crystal. The pink lepidolite spray at the base is a nice accent. A classic Pederneira bi-color tourmaline.
