Comments:
Currently my favorite tourmaline in the whole shop. I love this color combination: Buttery, rich yellow, with a seafoam green cap that has a healthy dose of blue.
This is an impressive size crystal, as well for how gemmy it is. It also qualifies as faceting rough, though given it's long proportions, it would be a bit of a waste to facet it. Even I, a gemstone cutter, would rather leave this piece in it's original, natural glory!
There's virtually no damage, just a little bit of minor rubbing on some of the edges.
This piece could be used to great effect in a custom piece of jewelry, if that's your goal!
