The second of three tourmaline gems cut from the same crystal. Yes, there are a lot of inclusions, however to the naked eye this stone is quite interesting. The numerous small black inclusions are not easily seen without magnification, however a couple larger inclusions are visible. Still, all in all a very nice stone.

Believed to have been discovered in the 1500s by Brazilian conquistadors, it wasn’t until the 1800s when scientists discovered that tourmaline was its own sort of mineral. Clarity is an important aspect of tourmaline, as it can actually be as transparent as diamond.

The name Tourmaline comes from the Singhalese word (from northern India) “touramalli” which means “mixed colored stones”. Because tourmaline is found in so many different colors they were often confused with other types of gems.
