Large, thick  single Tourmaline crystal from the Terra Corrida claim in Brazil. A tri-colored crystal with an orange/red base, a more transparent bright green center, and vivid pink/red termination. The termination is pyramidal with six faces. This is a big crystal weighing approximately 170 grams (my gram scale only goes to 100 grams so I had to weigh it on my postal scale). Complete all around and undamaged though there is a relatively flat contact or shallow etching on one of bevelled termination faces.

Old specimen with small hexagonal Apatite var. Francolite on matrix. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection. Comes with an old Sam Weller Minerals label that shows a date of 1987, and it was likely found much earlier than that as mining began here in the late 1700s.
