Calibrated Dark Blue and Green Tourmaline - 8 pieces -  over 5 carats   $85

Color Shifting Tourmaline - African  Very Unique and Rare

15pieces weighing a total of 6.08cts  Photographed under two different light sources - Fluorescent and Incandescent. The fluorescent light was still on, but we covered the gemstones with a piece of white paper and held a flashlight over the paper.   Some gems shift better than others, some unique colors and nice greens here too.  These gemstones where checked with a Chelsea Filter and they contain Chrome - so one could call this Chrome Tourmaline though not all show the typical chrome green color.  (You can see some nice greens here which also indicate the material contains Chromium)  This is something not to be missed and the parcel is priced currently to move at only - $459

Millenium Cut Tourmaline

The Millenium cut can really pick up the existing light within a room and make a stone look bright under low light levels. There are lots of beautifully colored tourmaline available on the market, but frequently these beautiful colors grow under conditions that typically create inclusions - just like emeralds!
To hide some of this inclusions and allow these beautiful colors to be worn as jewelry without the eye perceiving these inclusions, the Millenium Cut was designed. (The gemstones below might have inclusions, but we have choosen these pieces from many hundreds of pieces for their cut, and glowing color - if inclusions are present, they are more likely be be hidden because of this cut.) This Cut, these Colors and the Sparkle are something to see in person!

Announcing the All That Glitters Newly Designed Cut!

1.89ct Nuristan Tourmaline utilizing the new ATG Cut!  $389

After 6 months of work, the tourmaline below is our Proof of Concept - The Prototype.   Our new cut/design seems to be a winner, giving an expceptional 90%+ Brightness!  There is an inclusion that runs across the stone, but it made it through cutting and should not be a problem in setting - it can be seen in the photos, but the brilliance does hides it.  Recutting would produce a wondferful square, but that would defeat the purpose.  The photos do not show the real color, as the color is a bright neony green with also a neony deep pastel blue.  Simply a sparkler under all lighting conditions including low light!    We hope to announce our design formally in the future within a news release.  Some lucky person could own the prototype of this unyet named cut.  SOLD! f you are interested in the ATG Elegante Cut, contact us and we may be able to facet a gemstone for you in this exclusive design!  Note that on our site, we may have a few gemstones faceted with this cut or very similar.

		Original piece of rough! (A terminated piece too!!)
3.56ct   ATG Special Apex Barion Cut
This tourmaline originated in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan - in the Nuristan region.  Mining is only possible during a few months of the year and it requires horses and pack animals to trek into these mountains.  The atmosphere is thin and we have been told that one can see the heart of these animals beating fast - some die.  The mountain people here eat raw meat.  Not a very hospitatlbe place - but it produces beautiful gemstones!   There are a few inclusions within this gemstone, which is to be expected of this color.  They are not prominate, but indicate that the piece is a natural gemstone.  There are a number of colors coming off these gem.  If one were to rotate the rough stone 90 degrees from the picture above, one would see a beautiful blue green - you can see flashes of this color in the photos of the cut stone above.  (nrstngm-96a1g)   $890

A -  4.15ct Oval Tourmaline, Greenish Blue  (smgem-04-01)  $1032

57.16ct Watermelon Tourmaline Slice from Brasil!  Measures about 2 inches.....  (vista-04-04)  $857

2.64ct U.S. Cut Nuristan Tourmaline
This just came out of our cutters.  The cut is our ATG Apex Barion with a few modifications.  Please note that we can no longer purchase this rough at the price per carat that we are asking here.  Also be aware, that U.S. Cutting is costly but can produce a wonderful result.  You can typically expect that the minimum charge per stone for cutting is $100 and then there is  a charge per carat based on the finished carat weight.  We have been quoted $700 by one well known cutter who offered to do some fancy sculpting on one piece of rough we had - so as you can see, we cannot replace this gemstone at the price per carat that we are offering it currently.  (nrstngm-96a1e)  $660

2.88ct Cushion - SeaFoam Tourmaline   The color in person is literally a seafoam and lighter than shown.  Depending on the lights, it is neon to pastel.  Another unique gemstone!  One of only a few pieces that was purchased as a parcel in the 1980's while in Brazil - have not seen this material since.  There a few more pieces of this available from the parcel - check out our Photos Pages of Tourmaline or visit our Inventory List of Single Stones and well as Parcels and search for Tourmaline with a color of SeaFoam.  To specifically find this parcel, search for LotNum/Stocknum of  mvk-89-04.  Note that material of a similar color (slightly more neon) was also purchased in the rough from the Nuristan area.  Check our Inventory Lists for this material too!   (mvk-89-04a)  $864
