Awesome Lot of Golden Orange, Orangey Yellow to Green Tanzanian Sunset Tourmaline Faceting Rough. This material is running roughly 70% High to Top Facet Grade. Many stones display that strong Dichroism that Sunset Tourmaline is known for where you can have Orangey C axis and Green AB axis with many having the Yellow instead of the Green. We are quite confident that you will have lots of fun with this lot!

Most of the stones in this lot will cut eye-clean or better with the majority being able to facet 10x clean with a little hard work. Some of the stones in this parcel are a bit thin and as such weight loss will be higher than average; however, we have severely discounted this parcel and for the price there is no way you can go wrong!

1. Tanzania has become a heavy hitter in the world of Gemstone rough in the last few decades and is producing more and more rough as the days go buy. Sunset Tourmaline is just one of the new finds that is coming from Tanzania and also Kenya and the material is quite unlike any other Green and/or Orange Tourmaline available in the market. Tanzanian Sunset Tourmaline is characterized by a strong dichroism where the AB and C axis have a combination of colors running from a Golden Orange to a Golden Yellow and/or Grassy Green. Many stones produce very unusual finished gems due to this dichroism and are highly sought after by collectors.
