Washington DC Pocket perfection

Washington DC Pocket perfection.

An absolutely elite Cruzeiro Mine tourmaline from the legendary “Washington DC Pocket” — one of the most celebrated modern tourmaline finds from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Pieces from this pocket are instantly recognizable for their insane color saturation, gemminess, and razor-clean crystal architecture… and this one checks every box.

The color transition on this crystal is unreal — glowing electric greens rising into rich pinks and deep raspberry tones with incredible transparency and internal glow. The elongated crystal habit, sharp termination, and vivid zoning make it feel more like a piece of art than something naturally formed deep within the earth.

Cruzeiro Mine continues to produce some of the finest tourmalines on the planet, but true DC Pocket crystals at this level are becoming harder and harder to acquire.

A straight-up collector grade Brazilian banger.
