Tourmaline Designer cabochon Hot pink tear drop Top color rubellite 3.1 ct cabochon

This material is becoming rarer every day.
 Intense pink / red color,mildly included, this would make a fine center stone in a pendant or ring.

   This incredible  stone is  cut from old stock Nigerian material.It has a drop shape with a dome top,
  It has small inclusions,and is of high color and very bright.. The
rough for this cab had been in the storage locker of a retired gem dealer for the last 15 years.I acquired the rough recently and decided to cab it up .Here is the result.
  This tear drop cabochon measures 11.3 mm x 6.4 mm,and is  5.6  mm high.It weighs
3.10 ct.
