SOLD
A stunning crystal of tourmaline from the Cruzeiro, with very distinctive coloration: a cranberry exterior, with glowing amber to coffee color in the center. This crystal has no damage; you can see where it grew against another crystal towards the bottom, and the top termination has an area of natural etching that has resulted in dozens of tiny sub-terminations. The luster is absolutely wonderful. Weighs 38 grams.
