We have purchased a lot of Professional "AA" Grade Tourmaline Facet Rough from Afghanistan. This tourmaline rough is completely unheated and untreated, with beautiful natural greens. We deal directly with the largest tourmaline mine in Afghanistan and import large quantities of rough to bring this material directly from the mine to you.  This material is 100% natural and untreated just as it came out of the ground.

We guarantee that no matter which piece of material you receive with your order that it will be a piece of beautiful "AA" or better facet rough! Many of these stones actually appear to be "AAA" grade, but we purchased them as "AA" and only paid a "AA" price, so if you get some pieces that are one grade higher in color and clarity consider it a free bonus!

When you purchase this item you will receive a random piece of this facet grade tourmaline. We can't stress this enough - this is professional grade material which is very clean with a great color and clarity. On the rare occasion where you see a mark in our images those are almost always only surface scratches which will cut out with no loss to yield. Due to the nature of tourmaline we can not guarantee that every finished stone will be VS-IF, but it is very likely with this material as you can see from the images!

The images you see were taken dry with a standard digital camera using only 3 lights with 5000K bulbs for lighting.
