4.40 ct Red Tourmaline - Oval

At 4.4 carats, this rubellite tourmaline from Brazil carries its red color through an oval cut, measuring 13 x 9.2 x 5.3 mm.

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 single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
