BREATHTAKING MASTERPIECE

A true personal treasure—one of those rare crystals that never loses its impact, no matter how many times you study it. Recovered in 2021, this Coronel Murta Tourmaline represents the pinnacle of Brazilian elbaite.

Sourced from the legendary pegmatites of Coronel Murta—including iconic areas like Morro Redondo and Barra do Salinas—this piece showcases everything advanced collectors pursue: exceptional clarity, razor-sharp form, and vivid, naturally blended color zoning. Saturated greens, pinks, and deeper rubellite tones merge seamlessly, enhanced by strong pleochroism that shifts beautifully with light and angle.

Coronel Murta material has long held its place among the most respected tourmalines in the world, especially since the prolific 1990s discoveries. Today, fine examples with this level of presence and refinement are increasingly locked away in established collections.
