Pink Tourmaline, 1.53 ct Faceted from Afghanistan

An unusual stone in that most of the pink tourmaline on the market has a color shift toward brown under incandescent lighting and this one does not. Lots of refraction makes this stone look like a paster pink diamond in sunlight. Also, most Afghani tourmalines are blue or green colors…pinks being very rare from that region. Color: Light Pink, Cut: Round Brilliant, Weight: 1.53, Dimensions: 7.5 mm. (Information supplied by photo contributor.) © Daniel Stair, CustomGemstones.com
