With the current availability of these, it is something of a buyer’s market with Congo Tourmaline - a rarity in the gem world! Though sometimes given the relatively unattractive name of ‘salmon,’ these Tourmaline are mix of pinkish, orangish and a bit of purple; really quite attractive. What is so great about these when they are orientated correctly (and particularly as step cuts) is that they show the pleochroism so well. Great size and well cut, this one is bright and brilliant.
