Aricanga, Minas Gerais, Brazil

*one professional repair


Polychrome Tourmaline, from Aricanga. Large crystal for this pocket, which was named the "Chameleon Pocket". Most crystals were skinny pencils, with nearly all the crystals over one inch requiring repair. This pocket produced incredibly saturated crystals, with red bases, a short achroite zone and and then a long forest green zone to the termination, with varying intensity (on the pinacoidal terminated crystals).
