TOURMALINE
Tourmaline is a real favorite as it comes in so many colors and multi-colors and is so excellent for jewelry!  Tourmaline is a bit heat sensitive, so care must be taken when dopping the stone.  Otherwise no major problems, especially with our well shaped, eye-clean selections.  The main species of facetable Tourmaline are:
Dravite :
cola brown and reddish or greenish colors
Elbaite :
Verdelite (green), Indicolite (blue), Rubellite (red,pink)
Tsilaisite:
Intense yellow (very rare, high Mn content)

This Verdelite Tourmaline from Nigeria is all very clean at 10X and has a nice bright pure green color!  These are select color & clarity pieces that will facet some outstanding gems with great recovery.

*** VERY LARGE SELECT MOZAMBIQUE TOURMALINE *** - CLiCK on the individual descriptions below to see the stone.
The following Teal Tourmaline from Mozambique is amazingly clean at 10X "flawless" and is a bright Teal (Blue-Green) - it looks like a mix between Verdelite and Indicolite.  Under incandescent light these crystals appear more greenish and in natural light they are more bluish.  Considering the size of these crystals the color and clarity is truly special.  These will facet some huge gems or pendants or make spectacular specimens for a gem collection.

Pictures were taken in natural lighting so the color appears more bluish teal. The color in real life is significantly more wonderfully vivid than these washed-out pictures show!!!

66.5cts/13.3Grams, 66.5mmX10.8mmX7.2mm, This thick crystal is over 2.5 inches long!  Beautiful Teal color, crystal looks very clean at 10X from end to end!  An amazing piece. (Terrible picture - color is significantly better than picture)
@ $11.50/ct = $764.75

22.64cts, 62.4mmX6mmX5.5mm, Beautiful 10X clean specimen crystal almost 2.5 inches long!  Great for a gem collection or it could be faceted into a long cool pendant.  Teal color with a 5mm band of green right at the end.
@ $8.00/ct = $181.12

41.68cts, 46.4mmX10mmX8mm, Thick long chunky crystal,  Beautiful Teal color, crystal looks very clean at 10X from end to end!
@ 12.25/ct = $510.58
