Tourmaline (rare color)

Item Description

Tourmaline might be the most colorful gems in the world in terms of the number of hues seen in gems around the world. Some of the most well-known colors like green, pink and blue are more common to Tourmaline, but this stone has a distinct silvery-blue hue, which is only seen in a very small percentage of Tourmalines. The gem has a concave/quantum "Rectangle" cut, with only slight inclusions. Tourmaline is classified as a type-3 gemstone, which means that inclusions in the stones are acceptable in the trade for collectors and dealers, so a stone like this is perfectly acceptable for the material. The gem was cut from a broken crystal found at the Cruzeiro Mine in Brazil in the early 2000s. A cool stone to add to any Tourmaline suite or to match up with a crystal for "rough and cut" set. Please note that the color in stone looks a bit more green in the photo and video than it looks in person. Valued $1,220.00 retail.
