2.30 Carats Natural Faceted Tourmaline Emerald Cut From Congo Mine

About the Item

Loose Tourmaline Weight: 2.30 Carats Dimension: 12.5x5.9x3.6 Mm Origin: Congo Mine Africa Shape: Emerald Color: Brown Orange Certificate: On Customer Demand Congo, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), is a significant source of tourmaline gemstones, known for its diverse range of colors and impressive mineral deposits. Here's an overview of Congo tourmaline: **Color Diversity:** Congo tourmaline is celebrated for its wide variety of colors, making it a treasure trove for gem enthusiasts. These colors include vibrant pinks, electric blues, deep greens, and striking watermelon tourmalines that display a blend of pink and green within the same crystal. **Origin:** The DRC, as well as neighboring countries like Madagascar, have been prolific sources of tourmaline. The DRC's Kivu region, in particular, is known for producing high-quality tourmalines. **Ethical Concerns:** The DRC has faced numerous challenges related to the mining and trade of minerals, including tourmaline. Issues such as conflict financing, child labor, and environmental degradation have been associated with the mining industry. Efforts have been made to establish responsible sourcing practices, including the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for diamonds and similar initiatives for other gemstones. **Gemological Properties:** Tourmaline is a complex mineral group, and gemologists classify different types of tourmaline based on their chemical composition and color. Notable varieties found in the DRC include Elbaite (which covers most colorful tourmalines) and Liddicoatite, each with its unique set of colors and characteristics. **Market Demand:** Congo tourmalines have gained recognition in the global gemstone market due to their vibrant colors and diversity. These gemstones are used in various jewelry pieces, from rings to earrings and necklaces, and are valued by collectors and designers alike. **Treatment:** It's common for tourmalines, including those from the DRC, to undergo heat treatment to improve their color and clarity. Transparency in gemstone treatment disclosure is essential for ethical trade. **Collectibility:** Collectors often seek out rare and exceptional Congo tourmalines, especially those with intense colors and minimal inclusions. The watermelon tourmaline, with its distinct pink and green zones, is particularly sought after by collectors. In conclusion, Congo tourmaline is prized for its dazzling array of colors and unique mineralogical properties. While the region has faced ethical challenges in its mining industry, efforts are ongoing to promote responsible sourcing. These gemstones continue to captivate gem enthusiasts and designers, making them a valuable and colorful addition to the world of gemstones.
