DESCRIPTION:

Awesome Lot of Bubblegum Pink to Yellowish Green Mozambique Tourmaline SELECT Faceting Rough. A few of the Yellowish stones above have some unusual Copper Orangey color swirls towards the center of the crystal similar to some of the parti-colored material previously found in Zambia. Overall the lot looks to be running roughly 90%+ High to 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. A few of these stones do have some minor inclusions; however, they can either be worked around by dividing the rough or they will facet out with a little planning. These are NOT small pieces with the average weight running almost 7.5 CARATS! We have a limited amount of this material on hand so don't miss out!

COOL FACTS:
  1. Mozambique seems to be at the epicenter of new gemstone discoveries in East Africa and has put itself on the map as a source for a host of gemstones in the last decade. We are presently working on a trip to the country and will hopefully have more to offer from the locality in the coming months.
