Dravite Tourmaline (rough and cut set)

Item Description

Dravite is known from several locations in Tanzania, and the gem and crystal in this set are labeled as coming from a place called "Moshi", but I can't find a specific reference to this locale in any database. What makes this set so interesting to me is the color. Tourmaline is found in a lot of colors around the world, but this color is almost never observed. I can best describe the color as a soft peach-straw hue. This set is beautifully paired up (they most likely were found together in the same pocket) and features a great quality, eye-clean, "Rectangle" cut gem with a wonderful GEM quality prismatic crystal of matching colors. This is what you think of when it comes to rough and cut sets because each component is from the same locality with the same color and even the same shape. RARE on the market now, and a very worthwhile pickup if you love Tourmalines.
