Summary

Description
English: Tourmaline, Quartz
Locality: Aricanga mine, São José da Safira, Doce valley, Minas Gerais, Southeast Region, Brazil (Locality at mindat.org)
This remains to my knowledge the only good matrix example of tourmaline from this pocket, which I bought from a dealer directly out of Brazil around 1998 or so. I have seen only matrixless singles, since. It features a sharp 4.5-cm (almost 2 inch!) crystal sitting in a natural groove through the contrasting quartz point. The colors are VIBRANT and stunning, with a deep red cap on top of gemmy green body. At the very bottom is a gem nodule of liquid red tourmaline, as well. . Since then, I have bought and sold it twice, taking the opportunity each time a collector changed focus or style, to buy it back. In this case, it was a trade at Munich with a tourmaline-collecting friend who is now specializing in other localities, so the price remains fairly affordable, I think. It is MUCH more dramatic in person, where the 3-dimensionality comes off better. 9.5 x 4.0 x 3.1 cm
