This exceptional tourmaline from the renowned Santa Rosa Mine, Itambacuri, Minas Gerais, Brazil, is a superb example of the classic bicolor zoning found in specimens from this historic locality. The crystal exhibits a striking transition from a vivid seafoam green at the top to a warm, orangish-pink hue at the base—a color combination highly sought after by collectors.

Unlike many tourmalines from Santa Rosa, which often feature heavily etched and irregular terminations, this specimen boasts a perfectly sharp, fully intact termination—an uncommon trait that sets it apart. Highly lustrous and richly saturated, the color is particularly intense, with deep, forest-green tones enhancing its visual impact. Likely mined in the 1970s or 1980s, pieces of this quality and size have become exceedingly rare as no significant discoveries have emerged from the locality in recent years.

With its flawless form, exceptional luster, and remarkable coloration, this small cabinet-sized specimen is a true collector’s piece, representing the finest attributes of Brazilian tourmalines.
