Color and character

This unheated Nigerian tourmaline displays a nice light mint green hue. With wonderful clarity this stone appears clean to the unaided eye. I personally imagine this stone having its light color enhanced by setting it into a yellow gold bezel setting, but that's just my opinion :)

With a Mohs hardness of 7–7.5, tourmaline can be used in jewelry designs ranging from rings to pendants.
