Description/Interesting Notes: A classic "blue cap" tourmaline from this famed Brazilian locale!!! This specimen consists of a sharp, complete, crystal of tourmaline that exhibits an intense blue "cap" at the termination followed by a thin zone of pale yellowish color and a pink core toward the base - the characteristic "Sapo" col...or presentation!!! The termination shows a second, raised section as well - like a double-decker blue cap!!! The crystal exhibits sharp, glassy faces and translucent to gemmy clarity!!! The termination shows some complex features on edge, and the prism faces show some complex features on one side as well!!! The crystal is complete and displays terrifically in person!!! Classic material!!! These specimens continue to get more and more difficult to obtain - it is easy to understand why they are so highly sought after and why collectors seldom part with them!!!The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
