Tourmaline from Ibadan, Nigeria
No. 489: Hexameet Cut, 8.19 ct., 14.9 x 12.1 x 9.4 mm, VVS, $532.35
The Hexameet Cut is one of many excellent gemstone designs by Norman Steele. This cut delivers very good light return, scintillation and has a pleasing and unusual shape. The color of this stone has been altered by heat treatment to yield this attractive rosy-pink. This gemstone would work well in a custom pendant design.
