Item Description

Tourmalines are beloved by dealers and collectors for their intense colors in various shades. Brazil has produced some top quality Tourmalines for many years, including some of the finest gem grade Rubellite to come out of any country. Here we have a superb Rubellite Tourmaline with good size, top color, fine clarity and great cutting. The stone has some visible inclusions with a rich purplish-pink "Modified Round Brilliant" cut that was cut approximately 15 years ago. The color is VERY saturated and attractive for the size and honestly, the photos amplify the inlcusions but trust me it LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON. Fine Rubellites can retail for over $500 per carat on the high end gem market. It should be noted that this material seems to have dried up on the market, and good gems with the rich "cranberry" color like this stone are becoming much more difficult to find these days. Don't miss out on this one!
