1.11 ct Brown Tourmaline - Cushion

At 1.11 carats, this tourmaline from Brazil carries its brown color through a cushion cut, measuring 6.7 x 5.8 x 4.2 mm.

Tourmaline takes a wider range of color than almost any other gem species, because its crystal will accept so many different coloring elements. Brazil has been one of the most prolific colored-gemstone sources in the world for a century, and still turns up new material on a regular basis. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

A natural tourmaline small enough to wear every day and real enough to mean it, not a lab stone and not glass. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
