Item Description
Tourmalines are beloved by dealers and collectors for their intense colors in various shades. Mozambique has produced a good number of excellent Tourmalines recently, but richly colored material is somewhat difficult to find. This stone has a lovely "Trillion" cut with a unique "honey gold" color, that actually shows a bit of pleochroism, similar to that of Andalusite with slight golden, orange, greenish and yellow hues. It is nearly eye clean, (just very very slightly included) and would make a great addition to gem collection. Tourmaline is classified as a "Type 3" gemstone, as inclusions are almost always present, and accepted by dealers and collectors, so when you find a nearly clean stone like this, it's a real treat. Valued at $265.00 high retail.
