Item Description
This stone might possibly be a Uvite, as I've seen Uvites this color from Mozambique. With that said, it is definitely an unusual color of Tourmaline nonetheless. The stone has a yellow-golden hue with a "Square Cushion" cut. The stone is virtually eye clean (but it does show some color zoning/growth lines), which is not common in Tourmalines this size. I haven't seen many Tourmalines this color from any locality, and it would definitely round out a Tourmaline gem suite to show off the various colors of these stones.
