| DESCRIPTION: |
Awesome lot of a New Discovery of ULTRA RARE INCLUSION Tourmaline coming from Cabo Delgado, Mozambique. An article on this material was recently published in Gems & Gemology and you can view the published article HERE under "Tourmaline (dravite and liddicoatite) from northeastern Mozambique." We had a few of these cut for the GIA Publication and GIA's analysis said that they were a type of Dravite. This is what was culled from a 2+ kilo parcel (sold long ago) for publication possibilities and is now being sold post publication. The lot as a whole ranges in color from a Bright Medium Yellow to an Orangey Yellow and Yellowish Orange. There are a few Bluish Green stones in the parcel but they are only a few. This is NOT your run of the mill Tourmaline and GIA has identified probable Pyrite Inclusions, Graphite Inclusions, RARE Amphibole Inclusions while several other inclusions remain unidentified in this material. Many stones in this parcel clearly show "Pyrite" inclusions amongst other inclusions we couldn't identify with the naked eye. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE OF THIS MATERIAL and we do NOT anticipate on purchasing any more in the near future. Overall the material is VERY GEMMY; however, many stones do have some minor inclusions and this material is being sold as Facet Grade based on the inclusion oddities. We are confident that just the clean material in the parcel is worth the parcel price and the included material is a BONUS! If you like the RARE Inclusions in gemstones you will NOT want to pass this by!! |
