Weight: Under 1 g
Dimensions: 24.7 mm tall
Locale: São José da Safira, Minas Gerais, Brazil 🇧🇷 

Delicate, elegant, and surprisingly gemmy, this slender elbaite tourmaline crystal displays soft natural color zoning from a pale golden-green termination into a colorless center with subtle hints of lavender-pink near the base. Its elongated habit, exceptional transparency, and sharply formed termination give it a refined appearance that stands out despite its tiny size. The crystal’s clean lines and pastel tones make it an excellent example of the subtle beauty often found in Brazilian tourmalines.

São José da Safira is one of Minas Gerais’ most famous pegmatite districts, producing colorful elbaite tourmalines ranging from vivid rubellites to delicate pastel bi-color crystals like this. Slender, complete crystals with high transparency are especially desirable among miniature specimen collectors.
