Minor inclusions on the periphery that should facet out or mask up for the most part with planning. The inclusions on the rind are typical for a lot of Afghan Tourmaline; however, due to their location many if not most can be hidden under bezel facets when planned for. Some of the inclusions on the periphery extend a bit into the crystal but we are confident a spectacular stone or two is just waiting to come out of here! This is an awesome crystal section shaped for high yield with the most amazing color! This is ideal for a matched pair! Open C Axis though a bit dark due to the length of the crystal.
