Product Description
1.45ct min 8x8mm trillion rubellite tourmaline. the name tourmaline comes from sinhalese word "turmali" meaning "mixed". the gem probably got this name because of the variety of colors it comes in, and the fact that tourmaline can also be bi or tri colored. it ranks 7-7.5 on the mohs scale of hardness, so it is relatively tough. it can be faceted, cut into cabs, and used to carve figurines. ...IRRADIATED
