Here's a lustrous rainbow colored Elbaite Tourmaline on a Quartz crystal matrix with some Polylithionite-Trilithionite (Lepidolite) mica from the Cruzeiro mine in Brazil. This is a prime example of a great Brazilian tourmaline on matrix, with no repairs / restorations as well, which is uncommon for this kind of material. This is a very good larger miniature / smaller-side-of-small-cabinet sized specimen perfect for any serious tourmaline enthusiast.


The Cruzeiro mine is not one, but rather several mines targeting a series of parallel pegmatites named the Cruzeiro pegmatites. The Aricanga mine is a neighboring property which mines the same pegmatite veins, but under different management.

Elbaite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
