A FAT, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored, intense raspberry-red and green tourmaline from Coronel Murta, Brazil. The red termination and dispersed red and green colors throughout are STRIKING. The base has been sawed and polished to show the color banding. The crystal is complete all-around. The back is contacted near the base, but is out of sight. Hefty at 135 grams. These came out 3 years ago and I have not seen any of the same style since.
