Awesome Lot of Hot Pink to Fuchsia Pink Nigerian Rubelite Tourmaline Faceting Rough. This is an awesome mix of the Pink colored Tourmalines that Nigeria produces. Overall 3 stones should easily cut eye-clean or better whereas the two best colored stones have some inclusions that will probably show up in the finished stones; however, the colors on those two stones are just stunning and a rare find in your typical Nigerian Tourmaline. These stones are ideally shaped for high weight returns with most stones practically preformed because of the crystal structure of Tourmaline! Don't miss out on this give-away!

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.
