8.1 x 7.8 x 0.6 cm. A gorgeous, 1960-70s era, polished polychrome tourmaline slice from the Santa Rosa Mine of Brazil. The gemmy and lustrous, transparent apple-green body has a nice cranberry-red rind around the sharply triangular slice. Classic, old-time material from this renowned locale. Ex. Herb Obodda specimen.
