Tourmaline

Item Description

Tourmaline gems are colorful, durable and popular stones found in virtually every hue, including colorless and black. Here we have a classic Brazilian Tourmaline with a lovely bright blue-green hue, and minor inclusions. I will point out that Tourmaline is classified as a "Type-3" gemstone, which means that inclusions are almost always present, and accepted by dealers and collectors, so a stone like this is certainly par for the course. The cut on this stone is an "Emerald Brilliant" cut.
