An aesthetic trident-like specimen of three, gemmy and lustrous, watermelon tourmalines partially wrapped in pastel-pink lepidolite from Coronel Murta in Brazil. The raspberry-red cores are beautifully capped by gemmy, sea-green terminations. All three terminations are different!!! Amazing! On the same piece! I particularly like the scalloped termination on the large tourmaline. This is an uncommon Coronel Murta tourmaline varietal, and is a good one, at that. Damage free. Ex. Chris Korpi Collection.
