Awesome lot of a New Discovery of VERY STRONGLY Dichroic Tourmaline coming from Cabo Delgado, Mozambique. 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!

All three of the stones in this parcel have an open  C Axis. 1 stone looks similar to sunset Tourmaline; however, the other two represent some of the best color combinations and stones we have seen in the Dichroic material produced in Mozambique. The largest stone in the parcel weighs in at a bit over 3 grams and does have some minor inclusions; however, this is the brightest and probably BEST piece we have purchased from the new deposit as of thus far.

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. Overall the material looks glassy and almost every stone should yield an Eye-clean to very slightly included finished gem with a little planning. We don't have much of this material on hand so don't miss the opportunity to pick this up before it is gone!
