Red Tourmaline Gemstones
Round – 1 to 5 Carats
This is a tourmaline where you have to let your love of color dominate your appreciation of a stone. The poorer quality crystal and moderate number of inclusion must all melt away in its hot, hot pink glory. It does not get hotter, in pink, in tourmaline than this. It weighs .61 carats. 0729
I love the complex dynamic color of many tourmaline and this standard round brilliant is a good example of one. Under a light advertised as "day light like" and the real morning light, the round goes from a definite vivid purple red to a rich pink. It appears to be eye clean and with fine crystal, but there is a white non flashing feather on the side of the crown (Not under the table.) and it effects the gemstone very little. This bit of the wonderful of color in tourmaline weighs 5.00 carats. 1047
This standard round brilliant has an fine, medium dark toned, orangish pink color. The stone has a significant field of inclusions, that do not flash. The inclusions do muffle the flash of the stone a bit, but I don't find them obnoxious. This bit of a different stone weighs 3.24 carats. 1062
This red standard round brilliant has moderate flash and a significant number of inclusions. The dark rich sultry red color hides most of the flaws under the table, but there are white ones around the edge which are easy to see. If you love natural red this stone still has merit. It weighs 2.08 carats. 1073
