26ct Single Paraiba Oyo Nigeria Tourmaline Gemmy Gem Crystal!.
This item weights in at a big 26cts! This stone was dug from the earth in Oyo Nigeria area of Africa. This awesome Crystal has the nicest to the eye Purple color that I have seen in a 100% Untreated Gemmy Crystal Rough. This Sweet crystal measures in at a Big 1.75" Inches by 12mm in size Here's the answer to everyone's question of, is this a Genuine "Copper Bearing" piece of rough. The stones current owner hasn't had it tested. But other smaller stones from this same parcel of stones that he got were tested, and they tested Positive for Copper. He had also sold another big chunk like this one, that after sold and it was tested by the new owner, and it also came back as Positive for Copper. So, the odds are that this one also is a Copper Bearing piece of Rough too! Clarity is Clean. Would Facet a Really nice stone! The other 345ct piece was part of this parcel also.
