A fine and unusual tourmaline from early-2000s finds at the Pederneira Mine. This gemmy and lustrous, well-striated, green tourmaline has interesting, interior, horizontal bands and a frosted, matte-finish, pinacoidal termination. The unusual and interesting feature is the distinctive broken and healed zone that caused the crystal to grow in a slightly different direction. Tectonic forces during crystal formation in the pegmatite caused the break. Complete-all-around and pristine.
