  VERY RARE 4.51 CARAT VVS LEAF GREEN CONGO TOURMALINE Kamituga-Mobale Mine, Bukavu, Kivu, DRC (Congo) CARAT WEIGHT: 4.51 CARATS CLARITY: VVS DIMENSIONS: 10.80 x 8.70 x 7.30mm COLOUR: LEAF GREEN CUT: OVAL ORIGIN: DRC (CONGO)  TREATMENTS: 100% NATURAL & TOTALLY UNTREATED   A rare colour (Leaf Green) very striking natural untreated Tourmaline.   The name Tourmaline comes from the Singhalese words 'tura mali'. In translation, this means something like 'stone with mixed colours', referring to the colour spectrum of this gemstone, which outdoes that of all other precious stones. There are Tourmalines from red to green and from blue to yellow. They often have two or   more colours. There are Tourmalines which change their colour when the light changes from daylight to artificial light, and some show the light effect of a cat's eye. No two Tourmalines are exactly alike. This gemstone has an endless number of faces, and for that reason it suits all moods. No wonder that magical powers have been attributed to it since ancient times. In particular, it is the gemstone of love and of friendship, and is said to render them firm and long-lasting.
