TWO LEGENDS FROM THE HISTORIC 1998 SAPO FIND… BRAZILIAN TOURMALINE ROYALTY!

Some tourmalines are beautiful… and then there are the LEGENDARY ’98 SAPOS!

Two absolutely NEXT LEVEL multicolored TOURMALINES from one of the most iconic discoveries in Brazilian mineral history!

Sapo Mine, Ferruginha, Conselheiro Pena, Minas Gerais, Brazil

The famous 1998 SAPO BLUE CAP FIND is the stuff of mineral collecting legend!

In 1998, an extraordinary discovery at the Sapo Mine produced tourmalines with an unmistakable combination of colors that would become instantly recognizable to serious collectors around the world.

Deep electric blue caps
Gorgeous teal-green zones
Rich cranberry-pink and red centers
Glowing golden-yellow transitions
Incredible natural color zoning!

AND THESE TWO ARE ABSOLUTE STUNNERS!

What makes this find even more fascinating is its history. Collector and dealer Steve Ulatowski was in Brazil during the discovery and secured nearly the entire production. Many crystals suffered damage during extraction and handling, making exceptional surviving examples especially desirable.

More than 25 years later, these blue-capped beauties remain among the most recognizable and coveted Brazilian tourmalines ever discovered!

Just look at the colors on these two! The way that electric blue transitions into teal, pink, red and golden honey is PURE NATURE’S MAGIC!

For me, collecting isn’t just about beauty. It’s about the history, the discoveries, the legendary pockets and the opportunity to own a little piece of mineral history.

TWO PIECES. ONE LEGENDARY FIND. ABSOLUTE TOURMALINE MAGIC!

The hunt never stops!
