***ADDITIONAL INFO***

An amazingly rich, deep, saturated color for a tourmaline. Its exceptionally saturated and deep color puts it way above what's usually found in other good sources like Congo, Nigeria and Madagascar.

It's bright and lively and has no issues with either clarity or cutting.

These are pretty difficult to find nowadays since the original finds have long been mined out.

Please note that it does not contain copper i.e. it isn't a Cuprian tourmaline even if it does look like one (it has been EDXRF checked).

***COLORS AND ACCURACY***

All of our images are extensively, carefully and thoroughly edited and color-matched to reflect the stones in normal diffused daylight viewing conditions by editing with the stone and the monitor side by side in daylight. Consequently, the colors in the photos are as close as they get to reality when viewed on a normal monitor with a generic RGB display calibration profile - this includes most mobile devices but if in doubt, please always check on a desktop/laptop.

If you'd like more photos or videos of anything, please by all means just e-mail anytime.

***SHIPPING***

Tracked and insured shipping is included in the price.

***PAYMENT***

PayPal preferred under $1,000. Over $1,000 a direct bank TT is preferable but PayPal is still an option if their fees are covered.

***RETURNS***

Returns are totally okay but please note that they come minus the insured shipping costs paid to send you the stones. A government-issued invoice signed and stamped by Customs, government valuer-gemmologists and postal agents for stones + shipping comes within every parcel with the exact breakdown of shipping and insurance costs paid on export. Most of the time those amount to $55-60 for sub $1k value stones.
