This is a very fine specimen of pink tourmaline with a sharp complex termination. The specimen displays strong pleochroism in plane polarized light shifting from a light pink to an intensely saturated pink. The top half of the crystal is extremely clean and facet grade which makes it unusual it was not chopped apart and faceted. For the past several decades the Congo has produced tourmalines from a number of localities (Laurs et al., 2004, Henn, 2010; Laurs 2015). Usually, these specimens were from weathered deposits produced as by products industrial mineral mining and were not of gem quality (The Journal of Gemology Volume 35 / No. 8 / 2017). Recently in the past several years there has been a concerted effort to specifically mine gem grade specimens in areas such as the Rubaya Pegmatite District.
