Description
For Brazil., this is a crazy thing!!! I have never seen a gwindel of this magnitude from Brazil, and this comes from the collection of a prominent gem dealer who lives in the region, and whom I trust completely as to its provenance. The ironic thing, of course, is that a large gwindel of this quality would cost MORE if from the Swiss Alps. The piece is 5 inches tall by 4 inches wide and 3 deep, as it sits on a custom base. It is dramatic and good from both sides. Complete all around, with a very pronounced twist, this is a major piece! It comes with well-known gem dealer Brian Cook's handwritten notes about it on his business card, where he says there were 8 found, in 1985-1987 at this location. It has been in his private collection for 25 years until now. Joe Budd Photos

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
