Remarkably Rare
Rich Pink-Red World Tourmaline
Bracelet
This is a rare little number, 16 cushion cut pink-red world tourmaline from hard rock gem mining in Nigeria, Africa. To the south, is the Atlantic Ocean, to the North, is the Sahara Desert, and somewhere in-between was one of the World’s greatest pink tourmaline finds of the new Millennium.
They found enough of one deep, rich color to cut sixteen 6x4mm cushion cut to make a bracelet. Remarkably, all the gems are close enough in color to match one another in a bracelet, with 16 tiny diamonds in-between the tourmaline. We have several other Nigerian pink tourmalines from the 2002 gem find. All are lighter colors. This bracelet has deep, rich colors. It will not match any pink tourmaline we have from anywhere in the world. If you’d like this bracelet, it’s a stand-alone piece.
Real Tourmaline
*Important Disclosure: We mine Maine tourmaline in Maine, just 28 miles north of our store. 92% of all tourmaline we show and sell is found in Maine’s western mountains. Every once in a while we see a tourmaline found somewhere else in the world that is so fine, so beautiful we can’t resist. This is one of those rare, choice World gem pieces. The 7.35 carats total weight pink World tourmalines found in this bracelet are not from Maine, but from Nigeria.
Cross’ Maine and World
Tourmaline Promise
We at Cross think of ourselves as the center of the Maine tourmaline universe. We fancy ourselves to be World tourmaline savvy. We admit to keeping an eye open to tourmaline possibilities from outside our Maine borders because the gem tourmaline is the freest, most liberal, and most beautiful color expression of all gems known to mankind.
Absolute Firewall
We maintain an absolute firewall between Maine mined gems and alternative World sourced tourmaline gems. We do this because it is vital to us and we know it’s vital to you, too. We take the origin of tourmaline deeply, deeply seriously. There is never a pretend or an error. Everything is clearly marked and positively identified. Our firewall of source identity is absolute.
