A striking, large, highly lustrous, parallel-growth, cranberry-colored tourmaline with colorful, light green terminations from Alto Ligonha, Mozambique. The two florets of purple lepidolite are a very nice accent. This is a large, complete-all-around specimen with numerous gemmy areas. Nearly pristine. Highly representative from this famous, but uncommon locality. Weighs 64 grams.
