A SCEPTER OF COLOR…
Every now and then, a crystal reminds you just how creative nature can be.
This remarkable sceptered tourmaline from Barra do Salinas, Coronel Murta, Minas Gerais, Brazil is a stunning example of both rare crystal growth and extraordinary pleochroism. As it turns in the light, the colors shift effortlessly through vivid teal, deep blue, golden honey, fiery orange, and rich raspberry tones—each angle revealing an entirely new personality.
Sceptered tourmalines form when crystal growth pauses, then resumes with a broader termination, creating one of the most fascinating growth habits found in nature. Combined with the exceptional transparency and vibrant color that Barra do Salinas is known for, this crystal becomes far more than a beautiful specimen—it’s a geological masterpiece.
Mounted on a custom display base, it’s a piece you’ll find yourself turning over again and again, discovering something new every time.
