Topaz with Tourmaline inclusion

Item Description

Inclusion gems are a special category of stones, and there are some people who specialize in collecting this specific material. The term "inclusion" has two meanings in the gem world, one referring to unwanted material that impairs the clarity of the stone, but in the case of this gem the inclusions are actually another mineral, which is much more desirable and sought after in certain cases. This stone comes to us from Brazil and is a colorless Topaz featuring a "cut corner triangle" cut with a thin "needle" like inclusion of gemmy green Tourmaline! You often see Tourmaline included inside of Quartz, but Topaz rarely seen hosting Tourmaline crystals like this. If you collect oddball stones, unique gems or if you like general curiosities, don't miss out on this attractive stone for your collection.
