Awesome New Discovery of VERY STRONGLY Dichroic Tourmaline coming from Cabo Delgado, Mozambique. This is some really unusual Tourmaline that runs an almost Steel Gray with slight Yellowish Overtones down the AB Axis with an Olive to Sea-Foam Green color down the C Axis. Some of this material can almost resemble Andalusite. These stones were faceted IN Tanzania ON a Facetron Faceting Machine so this is precision cutting! For the price we have on these per carat you could barely buy the rough! Most of these are clean; however, the Oval as well as the largest stone both have inclusions. The largest stone has a surface fracture that extends a slight bit into the stone while the oval has a veil!

We are in the process of having this find published and will hopefully be adding more info to our site once it is documented. At present there seems to be three different deposits in Cabo Delgado producing this material or a variant of it. Please note that there are some in Tanzania selling some of this material as Paraiba Type Tourmaline; however, it is NOT produced in the area known to produce Paraiba Type Tourmaline. In addition, the material looks nothing like what typical Paraiba Type Tourmaline looks like but we will keep you updated.

It is important to note that these were faceted specifically for publication purposes along with some additional stones from the locality. We had more stones than were needed for the publication and hence are liquidating these below COST! Don't miss the opportunity to pick these up before they are gone!
