Tourmaline

Item Description

Tourmaline is a beloved gem for the fact that it occurs in virtually all colors, and the stones are often good sized, showing strong hues. With that said, green Tourmaline is one of the most popular colors for the material in the world. This stone has an "Oval Brilliant" cut with a beautiful deep green color. The stone is VSI in clarity, which is honestly typical for the material, as Tourmaline is classified as a "Type-3" gemstone, due to the fact that inclusions are almost always present, and accepted by dealers and collectors, so when you find a stone with a few inclusions, it's not frowned upon. It is a good sized gem that would make for a nice ring or a pendant. Brazil for decades has produced some very fine quality Tourmaline gems and this stone is a good example of said material. Retail price on this one is $448.75.
