DESCRIPTION:

Awesome Lot of Golden Orange, Orangey Yellow to Chrome Green Tanzanian Sunset Tourmaline Cabbing & Faceting Rough. This material is running roughly 50%+ Medium to Top Facet Grade with the bulk of the remainder being Semi-Facet/Cab Grade. The lot contains some of the better Chrome Greens we have gotten a hold of in some time.

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!  This was an odd lot we picked up recently and are just liquidating it as is because of an influx of Sunset Tourmaline on hand. This is priced to move quick so get it before it is gone!

COOL FACTS:
  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.
