PKS Mine, Sao Jose da Safire, Minas Gerais, Brazil1
1.36 x 3.55 x .95
A truly dramatic gem quality polychrome Tormaline from the Sao Jose da Safira area of Brazil. Ex. Mark Cross, the specific locale is designated as PKS, which to my understanding refers to pink stones mine, somewhat adjacent to Aricanga. This specimen features unique zoning and a complex pyramidal termination. PKS is noted for producing gem rough stones, so specimens of this quality only infrequently find their way onto collectors’ displays!
