DESCRIPTION:

Awesome HUGE Greenish Yellow Mozambique Tourmaline SELECT Faceting Rough. This is one of the largest clean Tourmalines we have been able to offer in quite some time. The stone overall shows a color shift depending on the light source and ranges from a more Greenish Yellow to a Yellowish Green or almost Chartreuse. This was one of the crown stones of a larger parcel we acquired and was marked at $80 Per Gram; however, we have sold most of the original parcel this belonged to and as such we have been able to drop the price on this to the current price.

Overall the stone looks practically LOUPE CLEAN and it will cut an eye-clean to FLAWLESS finished gemstone with your eye's closed! This has an OPEN C AXIS and is ideally shaped for above average yield. The stone is practically preformed because of the crystal structure of Tourmaline and we are confident you will take out one KILLER stone from here.

This is NOT a small piece with the weight running 30+ CARATS! This is a Premium Sized stone and we are confident for the price we have on it you would be hard pressed to get equal caliber material IN Mozambique AT the mines. This is one of the largest choice pieces we have on hand from the original parcel and we don't have a consistent supply of this material. If you want to cut a monster Tourmaline don't think too long on this one!

COOL FACTS:
  1. Mozambique seems to be at the epicenter of new gemstone discoveries in East Africa and has put itself on the map as a source for a host of gemstones in the last decade. We are presently working on a trip to the country and will hopefully have more to offer from the locality in the coming months.
