Elbaite
A beautiful, old-time tourmaline from the Cruzeiro Mine and the Steve Smale Collection. This gemmy, lustrous, well-striated crystal has intense cranberry-red color. The amazing color saturation is uniform. The lower part of the crystal is very gemmy. This is more intense cranberry-red than the famous Jonas tourmalines. The termination is a very interesting, modified pinacoid. Tourmalines of this rare and very desirable color came out in the 1960s and 1970s, with none since. Complete-all-around and pristine. Weighs 9 grams.
