5.96 ct Green Tourmaline - Emerald Cut

At 5.96 carats, this tourmaline from Brazil carries its green color through an emerald cut, measuring 21.7 x 6.8 x 4 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 entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

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.
