Long before adjectives like ‘intense,’ ‘vivid’ or ‘neon’ these legendary California gems had the market cornered on very saturated hues in Tourmaline. Even today, there is little that compares to the bubblegum pink of a good San Diego Co. Tourmaline. Here is a beautiful example - the color and cutting simply couldn’t be better and the stone has no overly distracting inclusions. Typical for the material, there are a few veils and thin needles, but given the fine color and size they are minimal. Great, usable size as well.
