DESCRIPTION:

Awesome Lot of Vibrant Fuchsia Pink to Neon  Green & Canary Yellow Nigerian Tourmaline Faceting Rough. Overall this lot is running roughly 50% Pink and 50% Mixed in color. This is a great mix that is indicative of the huge variety of colors Nigerian Tourmaline is available in! 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 85%+ 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. Most of the stones are nicely shaped for high yield with quite a few bulky crystal sections and a few nodules. 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 $1.50 Per Carat!
COOL FACTS:

  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.
