WOW!!! What a masterpiece of mother nature! A lovely matrix formed by a doubly terminated smoky crystal, white albites and white mica crystals is topped by two wonderful deep pink tourmalines.

This is a highly lustrous bi-colour tourmaline crystal with attached albite and mica matrix. The termination features nicely bevelled extra faces. The matrix is much bigger than shown on the picture, it is actually 3 x 3 cm wide. A superb piece from the recent finds!

Jonas Mine, Conselheiro Pena, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Size: 5.3 x 1.5 x 1.4 cm
 
 
 

This is a superb doubly-terminated rubellite crystal from the famous Jonas pocket. The colour still sets a standard in the mineral world, and has not been surpassed for many years. The upper termination is in perfect condition, there is just one small nick close to the lower end, insignificant and not visible from the front side. A gorgeous crystal from the best rubellite pocket ever found.

IN03 - Tourmaline - SOLD
Chia Mine, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Size: 18.5 x 3.7 x 2.4 cm
 
 
 

WOW! What a gorgeous multiple-coloured tourmaline crystal! The picture was just made with natural daylight from the back side, no artificial light used, and the colours are indeed that strong and intense. There is one repair right above the pink zone, but this was professionally done and is barely visibly. The termination is perfect and shows a pleasing yellow colour. The sidecar crystals are all terminated. The size of the crystal is indeed shocking, it is a true masterpiece for an advanced collector of gem species!


A484 - Tourmaline - SOLD
Konar Province, Nuristan, Afghanistan
Size: 11.6 x 9.4 x 6.7 cm
 
 
 

This is a superb 750 grams tourmaline crystal cluster, featuring pink colour with a slight green cap. The entire specimen is in great condition, there is no damage worth mentioning. Some lepidolites add a pleasing contrast. I do especially like the stacked formation on the front, clearly showing 5 individual tourmaline crystals in almost parallel, but still slightly diverging directions. Great visual impact!
