Tourmaline from Ibadan, Nigeria

No. 862: Apollo A Cut, 3.510 ct., VVS, 10.3 x 10.3 x 7.1 mm, $263.25 Faceted by R. Drummond Sold

Shown above is a beautiful, slightly purplish-pink, tourmaline of excellent clarity. This is an expertly crafted gemstone; the facet meets, symmetry, and polish are all excellent. The Apollo A cut, a design by Paul Smith, delivers very good light return and flashes in an interesting geometric pattern. This gem would look beautiful as the center stone in a pendant, pin, or special occasion ring.

Except for the expert faceting, the gem rough for this stone, and the stone itself, have not been enhanced in any way.
