This superb Tourmaline from the renowned Cruzeiro Mine in Brazil showcases a vibrant transition of color from deep rose-pink to cool blue green. The prism faces display excellent natural luster and fine vertical striations that emphasize the crystal's clarity and symmetry. Subtle "zoning" within the interior adds visual depth, enhancing the saturated hues that define high-quality material from this famous locality. The Cruzeiro Mine has long been celebrated for producing some of the world's most desirable gem Tourmalines, and this striking specimen exemplifies that legacy. A refined and collectible crystal from one of Brazil's premier pegmatite deposits, this example is a winner.
