1.68ct Tourmaline

This is a beautiful deep olive green tourmaline.  I noted in the accompanying studio photo under magnification that there are a small group of flecks to the left hand side of the table. I am unable to see these under a 10 x magnification jeweller's loupe in natural daylight, and they're certainly not visible to the scrutiny of the naked eye.  I would say that the gemstone's colour is slightly better depicted in the accompanying video than the accompanying photo.  

Tourmalines are a very affordable gemstone option and are available in a wide range of colours.

Tourmaline represents October's birthstone and also celebrates an 8th Anniversary.

Tourmaline is said to strengthen both body and spirit. It is believed to attract inspiration, aid concentration, encourage balance and promote understanding. It is also thought to calm nerves, soothe grief, promote balance and build self-confidence.
