MORNING COFFEE WITH A TOURMALINE THAT IS JUST NEXT LEVEL GOOD GOOD!

MORNING COFFEE WITH A TOURMALINE THAT IS JUST NEXT LEVEL GOOD GOOD!

Some pieces are special… and then there are pieces like THIS that remind me exactly why I’m so obsessed with fine minerals!

Sitting at my desk, enjoying my morning coffee, with the natural sunlight hitting this absolutely INSANE Tourmaline from the legendary Água Branca, Coronel Murta, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

THE COLORS. THE FORM. THE LUSTER. THE EVERYTHING!

That incredibly rich, saturated cranberry-red and raspberry-pink upper section transitions into gorgeous olive-green and golden tones toward the base. And when the sunlight hits just right… WOW!

The transparency, sharp crystal faces, beautiful vertical striations, and that incredible natural termination make this an absolute SHOWSTOPPER!

And the custom base? The perfect finishing touch to showcase this Brazilian masterpiece.

This is one of those pieces I can sit and admire for hours, turning it ever so slightly and watching the colors come alive.

THIS ISN’T JUST A TOURMALINE. THIS IS NATURE SHOWING OFF!

Some specimens are meant to be admired. Others are meant to be treasured forever.

This one is BOTH.
