Awesome Neon Blue to Neon Green Nigerian Tourmaline Faceting  & Cabbing Rough. These are some of the most spectacular Vibrant colors we have seen coming from Nigeria and we are confident they will leave you in awe. The lot as a whole is a mix of Facet and Cab Grade with roughly 55%+ being High Facet Grade and the remainder being a mix of Facet and Cab Grade. The stones are a bit small averaging about 2.24 carats; however, the color on these is a must have.

Many stones do have some inclusions; however, the material is extremely gemmy and with a little hard work you will produce some stunning finished gems from this lot. Most of the stones are nicely shaped for high weight returns with a few exceptions. This material is indicative of some of the best that Nigeria has to offer in color. We have a limited amount of this on hand so pick this up before it is gone!!

1. Nigeria has steadily risen to be a powerhouse country for Tourmaline production and is now set to eclipse many traditional sources in sheer volume of material. Overall Nigerian material, like most African material, has the brownish overtones, darker colors and lacks the vibrancy and life that Afghan (and some Namibian and Nigerian) Tourmaline is known for; however, many Nigerian and African stones can cut beautiful finished gems that rival Afghan material. From my experience I don't think quality is even questionable as I still haven't seen any Tourmaline Floor me like the Best Afghani material in its natural crystal form! Afghan Tourmaline can cost an arm and a leg and Nigerian material is a great affordable substitute for everyone to have fun faceting some Tourmaline.
