Awesome Lot of Bubblegum Pink to Olive Green Nigerian Tourmaline Top Faceting Rough. This lot represents some of the fruits of our labor on our recent Trip to Nigeria. The Lot has some of the most amazing Pink & Green colors that are guaranteed to leave you breathless and at $2.00 Per Carat you should NOT miss this opportunity.

Overall the lot looks to be running roughly 85%+ Top Facet Grade. Most stones are nicely shaped for high yield with quite a few bulky crystal sections and nodules and we are confident the bulk of this Lot should cut eye-clean or better with ease. We have a very limited amount of this material on hand so don't miss out! This is a lot that we personally recommend picking up for the price!

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.
