Dispatch on loose gemstones will take place 2 working days after purchase to allow for shipping from the supplier to my studio. I do regular inventory updates with them to ensure accuracy, but since these stones are also offered for sale to other jewellery designers, it may happen that a particular stone is no longer available at the time of purchase. In such a case you will receive the opportunity to change your order or a full refund.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 3.23 carat natural Tourmaline is a lovely forest green colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3.23 carat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOval\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eForest green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e9.50 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8.51 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5.60 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMozambique\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertificate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNo – Can be certified at an extra charge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Tourmaline:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTourmaline (Group Name)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeposits found in:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBrazil (Minas Gerais, Paraiba), Afghanistan, Australia, Burma, India, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Russia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, the USA (California, Maine), Zaire, Italy (Elba), and Switzerland (Tessin).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnown colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTourmaline ranges in colour from very dark green, almost black, to pale pink and colourless.
