Item Description
Tourmaline is well known for its wide variety of colors. This Nigerian Tourmaline has a lovely pink and pastel pinkish-yellow bicolor hue. It has a "Rectangle Cut" and is virtually eye clean, which is important for Tourmaline as it is a classifed as a "Type-3" gem, and most stones have some sort of inclusions. The Nigerian material is some of my favorite of all Tourmalines. I have not seen many of these gems on the market lately. Retail value is $161.25. Enjoy!
