Hey ladies...been a minute since I been with the CS crowd. Hope everyone is well. Just wanted tgo pop in and show a couple gemstones I bought my girl..well...my "other" girl...not LD 
I got 3 tourmalines from a buddy who knows thing or to about tourmlines. I bought one for my Mom and 2 for my girl......nothing fancy or expensive nor large and extravagent but it does have one unique feature that 90% of all pink tourmalines can't don't have....that it's not heated, irridiated or treated in any way. It was self collected at Cruzeiro Mine in Brazil for prior project on chromophores and tourmaline diagnostic features for location identification. They are both around carat and have some flaws but the color ain't half bad. Too these photos two nights ago ..under 6200K fluorescent so the color might be a little cooler in the photos than IRL.
Needless to save my night after giving her the stones was...um...[pulls collar away from neck]...um...it was a good night let's say.......[face turns red]
