A beautiful, very interesting Pederneira watermelon tourmaline. Most of the specimen is a very pleasing teal-blue, with a cranberry core at the base and olive-green at the termination. The jagged termination is heavily etched on one side and the sideways crystal looks like a bullet impaled in the side of the tourmaline body. A very unusual and fascinating Pederneira tourmaline, that is essentially pristine. The lower, fractured, bent, sidecar crystal has a broken, but healed termination.
