Item Description
Tourmalines are some of the most diverse and popular gems out there. This stone shows a lovely saturated pink color from the center to the tip, and is surrounded by a lighter pink hue on the other end. One of the most impressive aspects of this gem is the fact that it is only has one small flaw which is remarkable for Tourmaline. 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. I have to say that these stones are becoming harder and harder to find these days with so much gem Tourmalines coming out of other world localities lately. It is a great naturally occurring bicolor gem for your collection. Valued at $1018.50 high retail.
