Spotlighted epic beauty… and somehow even more unreal in hand
An absolute powerhouse—38.13 grams of elite “Washington D.C. Pocket” Tourmaline from Brazil’s legendary Cruzeiro Mine. This piece delivers everything you want at the highest level: a rich maroon-red rubellite core seamlessly merging into vivid green, all capped with razor-sharp, untouched terminations.
These iconic crystals trace back to a late 1990s discovery, when Dr. Steve Smale secured the entire pocket in Washington, D.C.—cementing their place in mineral history and giving rise to the now-famous name. Since then, they’ve stood at the top tier of collectible tourmaline.
It’s the full package here—provenance, insane color contrast, and precision form with gemmy clarity throughout. Not just a specimen… a legacy piece that speaks for itself. Video courtesy of
