Item Description

Tourmalines are beloved by dealers and collectors for their intense colors in various shades. Madagascar has produced a large number of Tourmalines (Elbaite, Liddicoatite, Rossmanite, Foitite, Schorl, etc) over the years, but GEM quality material is very difficult to find. Pink Tourmaline is one of the most popular colors for the Tourmaline in the world, and this is certainly one of the better pink gems from Madagascar that I have had to offer. This Elbaite stone has an "Oval" cut with a lovely pink color. It is only very very slightly included and would make a great addition to gem collection. A great change of pace from all the traditional Tourmalines on the market from places like Brazil and Afghanistan.
