This striking Pederneira Mine specimen features an exceptionally transparent tourmaline crystal of gem quality, remarkable for its clarity and pristine condition. Examples exhibiting this degree of transparency and surface preservation are uncommon, particularly in a crystal of this size and aesthetic presence.
The vivid blue-green tourmaline is attractively set against a complementary matrix of quartz and snow-white albite. A prominent quartz crystal provides a bold geometric counterpoint to the slender prismatic tourmaline, while the albite adds textural contrast. The interplay of form, color, and luster across the associated species results in a visually balanced and elegant composition. It is a standout example from this prolific Brazilian locality.
