The Himalaya Mine in southern California is one of the world's premier tourmaline gem mines. For many years this prolific mine has produced lovely red, pink, green and blue tourmaline crystals. Those crystals that do not qualify for a museum or collection are the source of rough gem material that can be cut into gorgeous gemstones. Although the highest clarity grade used by the Gemological Institute of America for colored gemstones is VVS (very very slightly included), the above gem is internally flawless (IF). This expertly crafted pink tourmaline gem would serve well in a custom designed ring, pendant, or pin. The above static image does not adequately represent the beauty of this untreated gem.
