The stone is more a very saturated fushia color...

Pretty! It looks like one of Barry''s tanga garnets. Could be any number of things though.

 

[mochi]

you can see the inclusions in some of the photos, but the stone is eye clean. Sorry about my stubby hair on my fingers....

Last one for now...It''s a very pretty fushia...I don''t know why it''s photographing so purple. But it''s very sweet.

Sonoma,
You took the words right out of my mouth. I instantly recognized the cut and color. Very pretty Mochi!!

 

[cellentani]

Great pics Mochi! Do you have plans for it?

 

[Arkteia]

I knew it! Now that I have a tourmaline I can recognize one. They look different than garnets.

It''s good to see your gem photos again Mochi, and the stone aint bad either!

Beautiful color!

[virgoruby]

Beautiful stone!

Is it a rubellite or pink tourmaline (as it''s more pink than red)?

 

[Laila619]

So pretty and vibrant!

 

[platinumrock]

Very pretty, Mochi! I love the color!

So are you going to do anything with this stone?

 

[Barrett]

sweet..love that color!!

I recognized it instantly as a Bob Kast pink tourmaline because of the distinctive colour and cut. Lovely stone, Mochi! With that colour, it doesn''t need size to speak volumes.
