Tourmaline with Lepidolite pseudomorph after Tourmaline

Itinga, Jequitinhonha valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil

3.57cm x 1.15cm x .86cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A unique and attractive example of tourmaline with lepidolite after toumaline!!! This specimen consists of a gemmy, deep green tourmaline crystal that hosts a core that has been completely replaced by solid, crystalline lepidolite!!! Picture a classic "watermelon" tourmaline where only the pink portion has been selectively pseudomorphed by lepidolite!!! One can see that the zonation between the tourmaline and lepidolite pseudomorph is sharply defined and one can also clearly see the lepidolite inside the tourmaline as well!!! The tourmaline crystal is sharply terminated with brilliant, glassy luster and terrific gemmy clarity!!! The lively green color is quite handsome in person!!! A very unique and attractive pseudomorph indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
