Gemstone: Elbaite Tourmaline - 8.77 Cts.
Mozambique
13.22 x 13.18 x 8.68 mm

This Elbaite Tourmaline from Mozambique is fashioned into a precision-cut round brilliant shape, with a symmetrical arrangement of triangular and kite-shaped facets that maximize brilliance. The gem exhibits a warm orangey-pink body color, evenly distributed across the stone and highlighted by strong internal reflections. High clarity enhances the lively play of light, while only minor surface abrasions are present along the girdle, consistent with handling. A vibrant and finely cut example, this Tourmaline combines attractive color and excellent faceting with collectible appeal.
