Tourmaline (unusual smoky color)

Item Description

Tourmalines are some of the most diverse and popular gems out there. Recently, Nigeria has been producing some exciting and interestingly colored Tourmalines, including The stone shows a distinct blue-green color with a beautiful "smoky" overtone. One of the most impressive aspects of this gem is the fact that it is nearly eye clean, which is impressive for Tourmaline as the material is classified as a "Type 3" gemstone, and 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 of it disappearing from the market as the Chinese buyers seems to be scooping up everything in sight over the last few years. Don't miss out on this lovely naturally occurring gem for your collection.
