Rubellite from Nigeria, Oyo, Ofiki

A superb deep reddish-pink Elbaite Tourmaline crystal from Ofiki, Oyo State, Nigeria, dating to mid-1990s old stock!!

- Gemmy and transparent, it features sharp prism faces, a lustrous termination, and an elegant elongated form enriched by subtle internal inclusions that lend depth and individuality. The Ofiki region was a leading source during Nigeria's 1990s tourmaline boom, producing vibrant pink, green, and rubellite crystals that gained international acclaim and placed the country alongside Brazil and Madagascar as a premier supplier of fine gem tourmaline.

- Specimens from this era remain highly prized, admired both for their striking beauty and for their historical significance within Nigeria's formative decade in the global gem trade. #tourmalinecollector #tourmalinecrystals #Rubellite #nigeriantourmaline #tourmaline #crystals #crystal #crystalporn #Elbaite #gemcrystal #bicolortourmaline #intimategems #mineral #minerals
