Tourmaline (rare color)

Item Description

Tourmaline is a notably diverse gem in terms of colors, as it's found in almost every shade you can think of. The more traditional hues are green, pink and blue, but this stone has a distinct silvery-lavender color, 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.
