Matched Pair of Teal Tourmaline - Facet Rough for Tablets / Fantasy Cutting - 1.45 and 1.95 ct.

Gem:  Tourmaline Weight:  3.4 ct. total Dimensions: 9 x 7 x 3.5 mm each on average Clarity: VVS+ Origin:  Ruhengeri, DRC Treatments:  None Comments: This is one of the most sought after colors in tourmaline.  Heck in gemstones writ large!  This pair of rough is a most curious shape, and to me, seem already pre-formed to be carved into little ginko leaves -- but that's just what my brain sees.  This pair is from the same piece of original rough.  I went to separate a fracture in the middle of it, and it came apart cleanly, into two virtually identical pieces, ideally suited to be made into a matching pair of fantasy cut gems, or matching tablets. The color, unlike a LOT of blue and teal tourmaline, is open on the C axis.  This means that it will be catching light, and reflecting bright blue, in all directions.  No dark spots to worry about.
