A beautiful, gemmy and lustrous, bi-colored, sceptered, green tourmaline with a pink base and striking pyramidal termination with intriguing etched faces. This fine, uncommon, older specimen is from the Barra de Salinas pegmatites of Brazil and the Steve Smale Collection. Pristine and complete-all-around. Some unusual etching took place at the base of this striking crystal. Weighs 12 grams.
