A beautiful 3.45 carat oval-cut rubellite tourmaline from Afghanistan, featuring a rich pinkish-red color with bright internal reflections. The oval cut gives the gem a classic and elegant outline, while the faceting adds lively brilliance across the stone. Its slightly included clarity is natural for rubellite and adds character without taking away from the overall beauty. Untreated and richly colored, this is a fine gemstone suitable for collectors or custom jewelry.
