3.32ct Square Cushion with a Checkerboard Top, Purple Tourmaline, Afghani  (mapint-10-01b)    $1660

Mozambique Purple Tourmaline - Thus far, this color is certing out as CUPRIAN Tourmaline!

Again, wonderful Purple Tourmaline!  Of course, until only a few years ago prior to Mozambique Tourmaline Discovery, True Purple Tourmaline was unheard of; therefore, when the world discovered that there was such a color in this gemstone, it was deemed very rare and very collectable.  We are pretty certain that this material will not be found in quantity, making these gemstones worthy to be found in collections and museums.

Here is another incredible and special gemstone, hailing from the small, now famous strike of uniquely colored Tourmaline from Mozambique!  This beauty is a color shifter also, making it even more rare!  Under office fluorescent  lights or daylight, the color is a purplish pink or a pinkish purple  (as seen here).  No question that it contains purple though!  Under incandescent lights, there is no pink - only purple,; very amehyst like... (In the past, some genstones would pick up more puprle under fluorescent lights, such as Paudarco Amethyst.  The fact that we see more purple under incandescent vs. fluorescent lights, makes this particular gemstone a curiousity.)  Until recently with this discovery, true purple tourmaline was just not seen.  The dimensions of ths gemstone are approximately  13.1X8.0X6.4mm and is an elongated cushion weighing 4.73cts.  It is quite large for this material and is mostly clean.  (One problem that one encounters with this purple color is that it tends to be very included.  Since we have purchased our material in person, we have attempted to purchase only the finest, best color, eye clean material possible.  We attempt not to  recut these gems  due to the high value in the gemstones themselves.  We cannot afford to loose much weight  and try our best to find those gemstones which are mostly eye clean, have good  color and decent cutting.)  (gemgbl-07-01)
