A gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored, pencil tourmaline from recent finds at the Pederneira Mine. The vivid green gemmy body is highlighted by a beautiful, teal-blue section in the middle and has a hint of pink in the core at the base. The steep, three-sided, pyramidal termination is black and has very interesting, vertical etching. This highly representative gem crystal is nearly pristine.
