FINE MULTI-COLORED TOURMALINE CRYSTAL
Cruzeiro Mine, São José da Safira, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil
A singly terminated Tourmaline prism from the collection of Steve & Clara Smale. It is a clean green at the base, fading to light blue, then colorless and finally to a cranberry red, complex termination. There is a faint striping of pink along one side of the entire crystal. A good portion of the specimen is clean and gemmy and would produce a fine facetted gemstone. In pristine condition, this bright and lustrous wonder is mounted upon a custom labeled acrylic base and measures 3 ¾ inches long by 7/8 inches across.
Provenance: Steve & Clara Smale Collection
