When thinking about the scarcest colors for gem Tourmaline - a species revered for it’s breadth of colors - orange is one that deserves a mention. Aside from the brownish, and relatively dark, ‘dravite’ types, a medium and unmodified orange is not something we usually see. This gem stood out in a recent parcel - a very bright and clean orange that doesn’t have the baggage of a brown undertone. Lovely cutting and loupe clean.
