DESCRIPTION: |
Awesome Deep Aqua Blue to Paraiba Blue Mozambique Paraiba Tourmaline Faceting Rough Lot. This was procured on our recent trip to Mozambique where we purchased it AT the mines. Most of what we had acquired on the trip that was TOP caliber sold within a week or so of arriving in New York or while we were still in Mozambique. This is one of the larger stones with good color that is left on hand. This is the best natural colored piece we have left and for the price we have on this there really is no way you can go wrong! Overall the stone is very clean with roughly 1/3 looking eye-clean; however, it does have some minor inclusions dotted around in the remainder of the stone. Many of the inclusions can be oriented perpendicular to the table to mask them up well for the face up view of any finished stone. The clean section looks like it may go up to a gram or so if you want to shoot for the cleanest stone(s) possible; however, that is something you will have to decide. This is a nice and chunky alluvial stone and we are confident it will support high weight return! We only have a limited amount of this material and I'm pretty sure there isn't enough to go around for everyone so grab this before it is gone! |
