Very beautiful rough.  Were you able to mine this material yourself, or did you purchase this during your 2012 trip to Brazil?

my friend have a tourmaline mine(now producing indicolite tourmaline)
when i was there i've done some digging.... but the vein didnt settle yet and was only producing black tourmaline....i'm hoping to go back early 2013 to try again
All the parcels you see here i got thru his miner friends.....

im looking forward to cut these amethysts... the look really good

and the Electric neon Bue apatite is also from a friend ....  next time i'm invited to go dig there...and that's something that should be great fun.....   that blue is one of my favorites
