The Bicolor Tourmalines below are Brasilian and were literally purchased in Brasil in the 1980's. Back then, most bicolors were known to be variations of green and pink/red. However, we did find a number of unique bicolors back then, including peach and pink, burnt pink and beige, and even peach and blue. Normally, bicolors are known to contain inclusions. There have been a few finds in Brasil and in other countries years later in the 90's producing cleaner gemstones, though differing in color from the expected bicolors (not as vivid in color, slightly darker, etc.). Yes, many of the bicolors below have inclusions - this is expected and acceptable - please keep in mind too, that these are photographed under bright lights and magnification. When these gemstones are viewed under normal lighting conditions with the naked eye, the inclusions are typically not what they appear below, but still might be noticeable - again, this is what one expects. If you want a mostly clean bicolor, contact us and we will see what we can find!

Note that we have smaller bicolors ranging from 1ct to 2cts. The ones shown below are larger gemstones and therefore, less common and more money per carat.

This Tricolor Tourmaline weights 7.03cts and hails from Brasil.  It is rare to see a tricolor, though bicolors are more common; less common when clean and in a decent size like this.  The color can best be described as Smoky with a nicely defined Pink separation followed by Smoky once again.  (sbg-06-01)  $527

5.58ct Bicolor Tourmaline - Brasil

This is one of the most unique colored bicolor tourmalines that we have ever had.  The colors are a peach and blue.  Actually, it could even be considered a tri-color since the color seems to almost go clear at the junction where the peach and blue meet.  We had three stones with this color and they would have come from the same gem pocket since this color combination is so unique.  This is the largest of the three and also the last one in inventory.   Due to the the environment that creates bicolors, inclusions are almost to be expected.  Many of the typical red and green bicolors are moderately to heavily included.  Some bicolors may be mostly clean, but frequently the colors are not intense or bright.  This gemstone has some small inclusions but this is to be expected for this size, color, etc.  As you can see from the photo, they are really not very noticeable, but what is noticeable is the peach and blue colors!  Since the purchase of all three of these unusual colored bicolors back in the mid-1980's, we really have not seen this combination of colors and have therefore not purchased any more!  (bts-02d)  $1,116
