WOW! A SUPER-GEMMY, BRILLIANTLY-COLORED crystal that, because of its thickness and extremely steep termination, stands out like a light among nearly all the other Pederneiras I have seen in this size and price range from this now-infamous pocket mined back in 2002. Despite its thickness, it practically glows and is transparent even with minimal backlighting. Ounce for ounce, this pocket has produced what are in my opinion the prettiest and gemmiest tourmalines money can buy. 5.6 x 1.6 x 1.5 cm
