Cat Eye Tourmaline – Barra do Salinas, Coronel Murta, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Ex. Rock H. Currier Collection

Colorful tourmaline in excellent gemstone quality! The skeletonized tourmaline shows a wonderful color gradient from moss green to sky blue and back to a bluish dark green.
The skeletonization has resulted in highly shiny and playful negative surfaces.
Rock H. Currier "saved" this particularly aesthetic tourmaline from the gem cutters who wanted to cut a cat's eye gemstone from this work of art of nature.
Due to the high-gloss surface, the gemstone quality of the tourmaline is difficult to show in photos and videos.
