1.56 ct Bi-color Tourmaline - Trillion

At 1.56 carats, this tourmaline from Brazil carries its bi-color face through a trillion cut, measuring 8.5 x 6.9 x 5 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. It is heat-treated, a common and honest preparation across the colored-stone trade, disclosed on every listing.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
