Here is a tourmaline from the Cruzeiro that not only is intensely gemmy, but has a rare layer of vivid blue right at the termination - officially making it a "blue-cap" that seems to have a special allure to collectors. You can see a pink core at the bottom of the crystal. There is a bit of mineral attachment here and there. Ex. Steve Smale Collection.
