Product Details

A large, old-stock crystal from the Cruzeiro Mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil — one of the world's premier tourmaline localities. This specimen displays a striking color transition from classic teal to deep red along its c-axis, with the strong saturation and structural integrity that define the best Cruzeiro material. Large-format crystals of this quality are increasingly uncommon from Cruzeiro's earlier production runs. The combination of size, color range, and condition makes this a standout display piece for any serious collection. Origin: Cruzeiro Mine, São José da Safira, Minas Gerais, Brazil Colors: Teal to red (bicolor zoning along length) Condition: Good — solid structure with clean bevels and termination Best use: Display specimen / collector piece Old-stock Cruzeiro material is increasingly hard to source. This is a genuine piece from earlier production, before the mine's output declined significantly.
