Awesome lot of a New Discovery of VERY STRONGLY Dichroic Tourmaline coming from Cabo Delgado, Mozambique. The bulk of this is Cabbing Rough and it is being sold as such; however, there are a few stones in here that are Facet Grade. Please note that this material is actually a mix of Tourmaline from various localities in Northern Mozambique; however, the bulk of the material is from Cabo Delgado. There are a few stones from Nacala as well as a stone or two that may be Paraiba Type Tourmaline (no guarantees). A few stones are not strongly dichroic and these are probably NOT from Cabo Delgado. This is some really unusual Tourmaline that runs an Orangey Peach to Peachy color down the AB Axis and a Sea-Foam to Hunter Green color down the C Axis. Much of the material has a really dark to closed C axis and you will have to cut this to complement the C Axis; however, we are confident you will take out some rare finished gems from this lot!

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 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. We don't have much of this material on hand so don't miss the opportunity to pick this up before it is gone!
