Description
This huge tourmaline is a deep dark red color, tinted with a bit of orange. The hue shifts with the lighting, appearing more dark red in certain lighting. The rough came from old material mined in Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria in the 1990’s–large clean tourmalines like this have not been found in Nigeria for some time and are very scarce in the market. It is completely natural and untreated. It has a few tiny feathers that are just barely visible in the photos, but not visible face up in the hand.
I faceted this gem in a custom radiant rectangle design I created; it follows the outline of the natural gem crystal. The resulting gemstone is rich and beautiful, and shows beautiful flashes of red, magenta and orangey-red on a deep red body color. The gem weighs 26.02 carats and measures 20.8 x 13.7 x 11.6 mm.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
