Description

Choice sceptered tourmaline from Barra do Salinas, Brazil. Excellent olive green color and great lustre, the specimen is fully transparent and with excellent gemminess. Faces are perfectly developed and display striations related to crystal growth. The termination displays the main pyramid and some minor secondary faces, possibly related to a second, less developed pyramid. Both the stem and the cap of the scepter are very well formed.

Sceptered tourmalines are very rare and sought after. This specimen is part of a recent, very limited find dated back to last summer.
