Chrome tourmaline rough, natural green tourmaline, untreated tanzania crystal, jewellery stone, tourmaline raw mineral specimen

• One off natural mineral specimen. You will receive the exact piece shown in the photos.
• Selected for colour, form and display appeal. Once sold, it will not be restocked.
• Photographed under neutral lighting to show accurate colour and clarity.

The colour on this piece is superb. It has the saturated chrome green people hope for in Tanzanian tourmaline, with brighter transparent areas that light up as the stone moves. The natural fractures throw the light around inside it, so every angle looks slightly different.

It is too included for conventional faceting, but that does not make it a lesser piece. Set into a custom pendant or ring exactly as it is, the shape and colour would do all the work. It also stands on its own as a natural chrome tourmaline specimen for anyone who collects unusual gemstones and would rather keep the crystal untouched.
