Tourmaline var. Elbaite on Clevelandite

This piece shows the classic composition of Tourmaline, with Lepidolite (purplish rosettes on the Tourmaline), and white Clevelandite. This trifecta of minerals is indicative of fine specimens mined at the Pederneira. The tourmaline is a rich Green color overall with sections showing a pink core. It has a bright surface, and is without dings. It has only a few spots of natural contact, where the tourmalines grew against something in the pocket that is now gone.
