Description
This gorgeous bright bubblegum pink tourmaline comes from the famed Stewart Mine in Pala, California. Originally discovered near the turn the 20th century, this mine produced large quantities of tourmaline for the Chinese market in the early 1900’s. In more recent years it’s been largely closed with only sporadic working by the current mine owner. The tourmaline from the Stewart mine is renowned for it’s bright pink color, but typically has minor inclusions and rarely is found in large gem pieces, such as this one. While this tourmaline has slight inclusions that are just barely visible to the unaided eye, it looks much cleaner in person than the photo would imply. The inclusions have been factored into the price, making this a great value for the size and color.
This tourmaline is faceted in a custom brilliant rectangle cushion design; the result is a glittering beauty of a gemstone. The gem weighs 7.83 carats and measures 11.9 x 9.9 x 8.8 mm. It would make for an impressive ring or beautiful pendant.

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!
