Detailed Gem Description:
A natural and untreated tourmaline with a dominant slightly purplish Red hue and a secondary yellowish Orange hue. It has a medium dark tone and very slightly brownish to moderately strong saturation. The body tone leans a little darker indoors in passive lighting but overall this is a stunning gem.
See the last graphic for reference on how I grade 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 on a partly cloudy day. The videos were taken in daylight under a blue sky with scattered clouds overhead and partial sunshine. The later scenes were taken indoors in passive lighting and under my overhead LED lights. Please review all the videos thoroughly.
Gemstone Rough Country of Origin: Russia (Pre conflict)
The uncut gem was sponsored by Ales of the Ravenstein Gem Company
Due to trade sanctions, this is my last piece of this material for the foreseeable future
