"STONED" - PAKISTAN EDITION
Vol. 1 - No. 4
This is our new Direct Offer E-Zine "Stoned." We will "experiment" by sending a few of these out from time to time and see what the results are. Based on those results we will either continue with the E-Zine or stop it altogether. We will not post a lot here on future issues and they will generally be limited to one lot or a few lots of larger size. We would prefer to sell these lots as single lots and have priced them accordingly. These lots generally will NOT be added to our website or on future E-Newsletters as single lots if they do not sell here. We will probably break them up into smaller parcels and compensate for doing such by increasing the price accordingly. The best way to insure you get the cheapest prices available are by purchasing the larger parcels; however, we realize that is not possible for all and that is why we list smaller sized parcels on the site and E- Newsletters.
This is our third issue from Pakistan and as such our Pakistan Shipping Policy applies. There are no refunds on the below items and payment must be made as per the terms on our Payment Policy page for Pakistan direct purchases.
We always like to hear back from you so please feel free to email us with any suggestions, requests and/or comments you may have!
ENJOY!

| DESCRIPTION: |
Awesome lot of Neon Bluish Green to Electric Turquoise Blue Afghan Tourmaline Crystal Faceting Rough. I think the pictures above say all there is to be said; however, for those of you that like to read: This is the material that has made Afghan Tourmaline the benchmark in Tourmaline perfection! This color is for Afghan Tourmaline what Velvet Blue is for Kashmiri Sapphire! It doesn't get MUCH better than this. The color of this material speaks for itself and is guaranteed to leave you breathless! This is HIGH GRADE rough for top custom cutting and all of these are chunky crystal sections (All of the stones in here are practically preformed because of the crystal structure of Tourmaline). All of these are a nice size with the average being about 6.5 CARATS! The lot as a whole is running roughly 90%+ High to Top Facet Grade and most of the stones in this lot will cut eye-clean or better with the bulk being able to facet 10x clean. Some stones do have minor inclusions; however, most of these inclusions are concentrated on the periphery and should facet out with a little planning and hard work. There are a few exceptions where you will have to spend some time planning and trimming to get the cleanest stone possible; however, I don't think you should have a problem getting an eye-clean or better finished stone from practically every piece in the parcel! |
