Sceptered Tourmaline Crystal | Green & Pink | Barra do Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil
A Collector's Scepter from One of Brazil's Most Storied Gem Districts
This exceptional tourmaline scepter originates from the celebrated pegmatite fields of Barra do Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil — a locality with a long legacy of producing world-class mineral specimens. Offered here as old stock, this piece carries the added provenance of an earlier era of collecting, when the finest crystals were carefully set aside by those who recognized their significance.
The crystal displays a captivating interplay of rich green and warm pink — a natural bi-color expression that speaks to the complex geochemical environment in which it formed. Clarity is notably good, allowing light to pass through and illuminate the color zoning from within.
