Product Details

A classic piece from the legendary Cruzeiro Mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil — one of the world's most celebrated tourmaline localities. This old-stock tricolor crystal displays a vivid progression of hues along its c-axis, with the kind of color saturation and clarity that made Cruzeiro specimens collector favorites for decades. The crystal is in pristine condition with no damage, a sharp natural termination, and a clean elongated form that makes it equally suited for fine jewelry fabrication or display. The striated prism faces and well-defined edges are intact throughout. Origin: Cruzeiro Mine, São José da Safira, Minas Gerais, Brazil Colors: 4 Colors (multicolor zoning along the length of the crystal) Condition: Pristine — no chips, cracks, or repairs Weight: 4 oz Best use: Jewelry-grade or display specimen Old-stock Cruzeiro material is increasingly difficult to source. This is a genuine piece from earlier production runs, before the mine's output declined significantly.
