Color and character

This unheated Nigerian tourmaline displays a warm and comforting golden amber hue that looks lovely in any lighting. In the right light it just might trick you into seeing some faint pinks as well. Some very fine inclusions that are not noticeable to the unaided eye. A great center stone for a stacker ring mixed with other bright colors.
