Item Description
Tourmalines are beloved by dealers and collectors for their intense colors in various shades. Green Tourmaline is one of the most popular colors for the material in the world. This stone has a "Rectangle Emerald" cut gem with a beautiful deep green color. The stone is virtually eye clean, which is remarkable for the material. Tourmaline is classified as a "Type 3" gemstone, as inclusions are almost always present, and accepted by dealers and collectors, so when you find a stone like this, it's a real treat. It is a nice size gem that would make for a ring or a pendant. Brazil for decades has produced some very fine quality Tourmaline gems and this stone is a good example of said material.
