Tourmaline-Included Tourmaline Slice from Jajarkot, Nepal - Unbelievable Creation of Nature - 6.18 ct.

Gem:  Tourmaline  Weight:  6.18 Dimensions:  14.2 x 12.75 x 3.1 mm Clarity:  SI/VS - Very clean for a slice Origin:  Thickachaur Mine, Jaljalla Mountain, Jajarkot, Nepal Treatments:  none Comments: The embodiement of 'when nature outdoes herself'  - It's one thing to have made a beautiful watermelon dravite tourmaline crystal, but it is OUTSTANDING to see a clean yellow tourmaline crystal trapped, and included within that canvas.   To add to the incredible aesthetics of this piece, the clarity is extremely good for a slice.  It's got a few very sparse inclusions, so I hesitate to call it VS, but it sits in a place right on the SI/VS line. It's an open, medium green color all around the outside edge, with a concentric dividing ring of very dark green, which is fantastic, because it's like a frame, and then the interior space of the slice is a mottled mix of light green, and a blue-ish colorless shade. I've only ever seen one other tourmaline slice with a whole other tourmaline included.
