2.34 ct Green Tourmaline - Cushion

This 2.34-carat tourmaline is cut as a cushion measuring 9.7 x 6.2 x 5 mm, with a green body color, sourced from Nigeria.

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.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and photographs it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
