A great single crystal of Elbaite Tourmaline from Barra de Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, that is 6.1 x 1.1 x 0.7 cm in size. The crystal has a good asymmetric hexagonal termination, top luster, and transparency, this specimen is essentially a red and green watermelon Tourmaline. The top half of the crystal has a light to a darker shade of green, and the lower half is of a red-pink color which had the outer green shell naturally etched away. There are a couple of minor dings on the specimen overall.
