    Notes:
    This gem is rare..... It was cut by me from my rough; it is extremely hard to find tri color material and to find one this clean is even harder to do... You are looking at 50 percent reddish-orange; 20 percent green and then 30 percent a yellowish color. This is a true collector gem and it is very rare and lovely. It can also be a great ring or pendant gem as well. I had this gems little sister on here as well as I bought both crystals from the same dealer back 16 years ago when the very unusual and unique tourmalines were really coming out of Nigeria. The other gem is 7.4 carats and I am re-photographing it as it showed too much yellow; but this picture is spot-on for color, clarity, and cut. I will put the smaller one back up later. Totally natural as you will be hard pressed to fake this gem. Also look around and see IF you can find one like this; not common and extremely clean... It would be very hard to get the rough crystal for the cut price.
