Awesome Lot of Vibrant Fuchsia Pink to Hot Pink Nigerian Tourmaline Faceting Rough. This Lot has some of the most amazing Pink colors that are guaranteed to leave you breathless. Most Nigerian Tourmaline on the market today tends to have excessive dark Brownish overtones and this Lot is a breath of fresh air from that!!

The lot looks to be running roughly 75%+ High Facet Grade with some stones having minor inclusions that should facet out or mask up well with a little planning for the most part. There is one stone that looks like it will need to be cut into two gems to get them as clean as possible and 1 other stone that looks 50% clean while the remainder looks like cabbing rough but the lot as a whole is some good Facet Rough. Most of the stones are nicely shaped for high yield with quite a few bulky crystal sections . We have a very limited amount of this material on hand so don't miss this lot! This is a lot that we personally recommend picking up for the price! This is steal at $2.00 Per Carat!

1. Nigeria has steadily risen to be a powerhouse country for Tourmaline production and is now set to eclipse many traditional sources in sheer volume of material. Overall Nigerian material, like most African material, has the brownish overtones, darker colors and lacks the vibrancy and life that Afghan (and some Namibian and Nigerian) Tourmaline is known for; however, many Nigerian and African stones can cut beautiful finished gems that rival Afghan material. From my experience I don't think quality is even questionable as I still haven't seen any Tourmaline Floor me like the Best Afghani material in its natural crystal form! Afghan Tourmaline can cost an arm and a leg and Nigerian material is a great affordable substitute for everyone to have fun faceting some Tourmaline.
