We simply couldn’t resist the very specific and scarce locality of this gem. Nepal is not typically though of in terms of gem Tourmaline and indeed even Aquamarine is more well known from this very little mine in Eastern Nepal. Clean and nicely cut, the stone is a sort of Epidote-ish dark yellow brown. Outstanding for the specificity of its locale and rare as such.
