THE VAULT PRECIOUS JEWELS Proudly Offers 2 Pcs of 100% Natural Unheated PINK TOURMALINE - 1.48tcw

Pink Tourmaline has become a favourite for mounting because it is available in so many shades, ranging from pure light Pink to intense "HOT", Pink to orangey-Pink and Fuchsia Pink. Gemologists think that natural irradiation produces the Pink, Red and Violet colors in Tourmaline. To enhance the color to get the very HOT Pinks, you can expect that it was probably Cobalt treated. The darker reddish colors tend to have more natural inclusions than the other Tourmaline colors because they are formed near the center of the crystal pocket and receive more stress and pressure during formation.
 Prices per carat vary with the size, color and clarity of the stone. Natural Pink Tourmaline is a highly valued Collectors Gemstone.

TREATMENTS - The vivid deep Pink colors in Tourmaline are achieved by Cobalt Irradiation treatment. This produces deep Pink from very light Pink stones. The typical treatment process is a permanent process that does not adversely affect the performance and durability of the gemstone, so there's no need to worry when you see this enhancement disclosed.
CARE - Tourmaline is a very good choice for jewelry but it should be stored in a separate compartment or in a jewelry bag to prevent scratching by harder Gemstones. Jewelry featuring Tourmaline is risky if cleaned in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner. I recommend Ionic Cleaners and/or warm, soapy water and a soft brush as the best way to clean Tourmaline jewelry.
