Gem: Tourmaline
Weight: 4.05 ct. / 0.808 g.
Dimensions: 28 x 4.05 x 3.2 mm
Clarity: Eye Clean - While not intended as facet rough because the length to width ratio is absurd, you could cut a gem from it if you wished. Depth is tight, but the material there for a gem with proper angles if you're motivated.
Origin: Rubaya Mine, Democratic Republic of Congo
Treatments: None
Comments:
This terminated gem crystal is really neat. It looks more or less like a perfect 50/50 bicolor, but there is also a yellowish area between the green and the pink. This is quite a dynamic crystal!
the base of the crystal also has a mini sidecar hanging out, which can be noted in the photos.
This piece is totally clean, except for a little surface dislocation near the top. While not intended for faceting, this inclusion would likely cut out of the final gem without issue.
