Detailed Gem Description:
A natural and untreated tourmaline with a yellowish Orange hue, a light tone, and very slightly grayish saturation. This is an open-tone tourmaline, it will glow and sparkle in any lighting!
See the last graphic for reference on how I graded these. To maintain originality, I made the reference graphics with gems of my own design but it is based on GIA's color description system.
Photos were taken in daylight with a blue sky and the sun overhead. The first four (4) videos were taken in daylight under a blue sky with the sun overhead. The last scenes in the fourth video were taken indoors in passive lighting and under my overhead LED lights. The fifth video was taken on an overcast day and the final scenes were taken indoors in passive lighting. Please review all the videos thoroughly.
Gemstone Rough Country of Origin: DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
Cutter: Sennin
• Microscopy Report:
No inclusions or imperfections worth noting! Loupe Clean! Worth noting is that it does have a bi-color, however, it is not visible in the cut gem. If you tilt the gem on its long axis from one side only, you will see a light green hue. The uncut tourmaline was bi-color, unfortunately, the finished gem did not exhibit both colors.
