Large, thick  single Tourmaline crystal from the Terra Corrida claim in Brazil. A tri-colored crystal with an orange/red base, a more transparent bright green center, and vivid pink/red termination. The termination is pyramidal with six faces. This is a big crystal weighing approximately 170 grams (my gram scale only goes to 100 grams so I had to weigh it on my postal scale). Complete all around and undamaged though there is a relatively flat contact or shallow etching on one of bevelled termination faces.
