A very gemmy, beautiful, old-time Cruzeiro tourmaline from the Steve Smale Collection. This crystal has very pleasing shades of cranberry-red and an interesting, modified, pinacoidal termination. Red Cruzeiro crystals of this quality came out in the 1960s and 70s and are very uncommon and are highly desired. Weighs 10 grams.
