Spectacular lot of Olive Green to Yellowish Green Chrome Tourmaline from Tanzania. The parcel is composed of practically every shade of Chrome Tourmaline. The lot is running roughly 30%+ Medium to High Grade Facet Rough with the remainder being a mixture of Cabbing rough and possibly some additional Faceting Rough. Practically every stone in the lot is a nice and chunky crystal section and/or nodule capable of giving above or above average yield. We are just blowing this out to make some room for new acquisitions. Take a look around and you will realize this is a deal NOT to be missed!

1. Tanzania has become a heavy hitter in the world of Gemstone rough in the last few decades and is producing more and more rough as the days go buy. Sunset Tourmaline is just one of the new finds that is coming from Tanzania and also Kenya and the material is quite unlike any other Green and/or Orange Tourmaline available in the market. Tanzanian Sunset Tourmaline is characterized by a strong dichroism where the AB and C axis have a combination of colors running from a Golden Orange to a Golden Yellow and/or Grassy Green. Many stones produce unusual finished gems due to this dichroism and are highly sought after by collectors.
