Tourmaline (Elbaite)

Unknown Owner
A classic multicoloured prismatic, well-formed individual off-matrix crystal of Elbaite tourmaline from the legendary Cruzeiro mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It features a fine, pink, pyramidal termination with striated prism faces, a gemmy vivid green zone, a teal blue area, and a further pale raspberry pink zone below, with two smaller crystals attached to one side in a parallel position. With good back lighting this 6.2 cm long crystal really does 'ping'.
