This beautiful Tourmaline twin was mined recently at the Santa Rosa Mine in Brazil. It has a rich blue color with a twinge of greenish-blue that overall is a distinctive hue for Santa Rosa. Both terminations are bright and sharp. The overall piece is bright and colorful .Production of Tourmaline in Brazil has been dismal over the last three+ years, I felt lucky to be able to get ahold of this piece, given I'm good friends with the mine owner. This piece is over 2.5 inches long and has a wonderful proportion of length to width. No damage. Mounted on a custom acrylic base.
