Gemstone: Tourmaline - 2.44 Cts.
Himalaya Mine
San Diego
California, USA
10.16 x 6.99 x 5.11 mm

This Himalaya Mine Tourmaline displays a warm palette of peach, pink, and light reddish undertones, creating a soft yet distinctive color blend prized by collectors of American Tourmaline. The cushion-shaped mixed cut reveals broad internal reflections that play across the crystal's naturally included interior, a hallmark of the locality's material. Subtle wear at some facet junctions is present but does little to detract from the stone's overall visual character. Light interacts gently with the gem, enhancing the pastel bodycolor and drawing attention to the stone's origin-specific charm. This Tourmaline offers a noteworthy opportunity to acquire a classic example from one of California's most storied pegmatite mines.
