2.21 ct Pink Tourmaline - Emerald Cut

At 2.21 carats, this tourmaline from Nigeria carries its pink color through an emerald cut, measuring 10 x 6 x 4.5 mm.

Tourmaline takes a wider range of color than almost any other gem species, because its crystal will accept so many different coloring elements. Nigeria's gem fields rose to prominence in the 1990s and remain a significant modern source. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

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