Item Description

Although Tourmaline is found in all colors of the rainbow, yellow is quite possibly the most difficult to find. These "Tsilaisite" Tourmalines are found in only a few isolated localities in the world, and they are among my favorite Tourmaline gems around. This stone has a vibrant canary yellow (with a slight greenish overtone) color, which is very difficult to find in Tourmalines. This "Quantum Emerald" cut gem is only slightly included and is simply dazzling in person. I am lucky if I can get my hands on a vibrant yellow Tourmalines like this more than once a year. I am thrilled to be offering this incredibly beautiful and rare gem. Enjoy.
