Rubellite Tourmaline (beautiful color)

Item Description

When it comes to colored stones, tourmalines are some of the most diverse and popular gems out there. You can find Tourmalines in virtually all colors of the rainbow, and they're one of the few gems that occur in natural bicolor stones as well. Some of the best Rubellite Tourmalines on the market today are Brazilian in origin, and remain as some of the most attractive in the gem world. This "Round Brilliant" cut stone actually dates back about 30 years, and shows a gorgeous pink color with a slight orange overtone. The stone is nearly eye clean, which is excellent for this material. 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 stone like this, especially a with such great color, it's a real treat. I have to say that these stones are becoming harder and harder to find these days when so much of the gem Tourmalines are being purchased direct in Asian market, less is finding its way to the directly to the western market. It is a great naturally occurring gem for your collection, and a steal for the starting price because it was priced at $994.00 retail in our inventory.
