Most of the tourmalines I''ve seen coming from the mine in Oyo (that has copper-containing tourmalines like the ones in paraiba) are pretty faintly coloured, and I don''t think I''ve really seen many, let alone a really nice bi-colour tourmaline from that mine but this one instantly caught my eye! It''s only 2.08 carats but it''s stunning in my opinion, and i''m usually indifferent when it comes to bi-colours, as most aren''t this colour nor do most have roughly the same amount of both colours on the gem Even more, it''s VVS1
What do you guys think of it, and what do you think it''s worth?
