1.80 ct Brown Tourmaline - Oval

At 1.8 carats, this tourmaline from Brazil carries its brown color through an oval cut, measuring 9.1 x 6.3 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.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
