Comments: This Spessartine is brilliant orange color, and lively.  There are some slight inclusions in the stone, but I have to say the magnification of these photographs is a bit deceiving.  The inclusions are not as noticeable in person, but the camera can show more than the eye can see.  This is a color and size gem that can be seen from across the room, making it very attractive.

Price For Stone: $2,680

Cut: Emerald
Color: Deep Bluish Green
Clarity: Eye Clean
Cut by Us: No

Comments: Tourmaline is one of them most beautiful gemstones in the world.  It comes in every color, and though the localities for Tourmaline are abundant, there are few localities that produce great gems.  Brazil is one of the few great Tourmaline locations in the world.  This stone is over 10 carats and clean!  A deep bluish-green is a classic color from Brazil, but when they get over 10 carats, they become too dark.  This stone, however, is not dark, and it has good flash that catches the eye.  This is a great value for a gem clean Tourmaline of this size.

Comments:  This is a unique color for tourmaline.  I describe the color as being "crystal", by which I mean, it has a flash and clarity that sparkles, bringing out the blue - green differently than you would see in most other gems.  I like the cut on this gem, as it enhances the color.

Gemstone # Tourmaline457
Name: Elbaite Tourmaline
Locality: Nigeria
Weight: 4.57 cts
Size: 12.62 x 9.37 mm
Price per Carat: $250
Price For Stone: $1,142.50

Cut: Pear
Color: Pink Pomegranate
Clarity: VS
Cut by Us: No
Availability: Available

Comments: Here is a killer!  You can tell by the shape of this stone that it was custom cut, because it is not a typical pear shape.  Also, it is more brilliant, which would not be the case if this stone were faceted over seas.  This gemstone displays an incredible intense "Rubellite" color.  This is a unique color that defines how beautiful Tourmaline can be.  The inclusions were kept near the edge of the stone, and make them less noticeable.  Nigeria has some amazing Tourmaline material, but the cost has risen by more than double in the last few years.  This stone is more reasonably priced, compared to the newer material.

Comments:  Size, quality, color and beauty define a gemstone, and this stone has much to offer in all of these categories.  6 carats is a great size in this color of Tourmaline.  The color varies throughout the stone making it unique.  This stone sparkles and "moves" meaning the light travels back and forth down the pavilion from tip to tip.
