Item Description
Tourmaline is beloved by collectors for its wide range of vivid colors. One color that is considered rare for Tourmaline from any locality is orange. Recently in Tanzania there was a find of superb golden-orange color Tourmaline which was soon to be known as "Sunset Tourmaline". The rich warm hues seen in these gems makes these stones very enticing for collectors. This particular gem is a beautiful, virtually eye clean gem with a lovely golden-orange color and a "Step Oval" cut. It seems that these stones have quickly dried up from the market, and they are retailing for fairly high numbers with some dealers, so don't miss out on this fantastic Tourmaline of an uncommon color.
