Blue-Green Tourmaline- Itinga | River Walkers Minerals

Weight: Under 1 gram
Dimensions: 32.5 mm
Locale: Itinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil 🇧🇷 

Slender, elegant, and surprisingly vibrant for its size, this natural elbaite tourmaline displays rich forest-green and blue color, with an olive-green window just below the termination that comes alive when backlit. Its elongated habit gives it an especially graceful appearance, while the transparent body reveals the crystal’s natural internal growth features.

The termination is complete and well-defined, with crisp prism faces and beautiful natural luster. Despite weighing under a gram, it has an impressive presence thanks to its exceptional length and vivid color.

Itinga, in Brazil’s Jequitinhonha Valley, is one of the world’s best-known localities for colorful elbaite tourmaline. The pegmatites here have produced everything from classic chrome-green crystals to vivid bi-colors and watermelon tourmalines, making the region a favorite among collectors for generations.
