This extraordinary tourmaline from the renowned Aricanga mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil, is a true masterpiece of nature. Known for some of the most beautiful and colourful tourmaline finds in the world, this piece is characterised by its intense colour gradient and the flawless clarity of the main crystal. From a bright pink to a deep purple and a soft blue, this tourmaline offers a breathtaking spectrum of colours that create a fascinating play of light when they interact. The twin crystal gives the piece a special structure: while the main tourmaline is perfectly crystallised all the way to the tip, the twin crystal is half preserved and just as colourful – a unique detail that makes collectors' hearts beat faster.
Intense colour gradient & vibrant interior
What makes this tourmaline particularly special is its intense colour gradient. Starting with a strong pink at the base, the colour gradient transitions into a deep violet, finally ending in a delicate blue. These colour transitions are fluid and create a visual depth that makes the piece appear particularly vibrant. Added to this is the extraordinary clarity of the crystal, which allows us to look deep inside. There, the light refracts in a fascinating way, creating a sparkling play of light and colour that never fails to captivate the observer.
A geological masterpiece
This piece consists of a twin crystal, which is particularly characteristic of minerals from the Aricanga mine. The main tourmaline is perfectly formed right up to the tip and shows flawlessly clear crystal surfaces. This perfect crystal structure gives the piece an additional elegance and underlines its geological peculiarity. The twin crystal, which is located directly next to it, is half preserved and forms a beautiful contrast to the main crystal. Despite its incomplete formation, it is also characterised by an intense colour, which gives the entire piece a harmonious yet exciting structure.
