  EXTREMELY RARE 3.61 CARAT VVS AAA GREEN CONGO TOURMALINE Kamituga-Mobale Mine, Bukavu, Kivu, DRC (Congo) CARAT WEIGHT: 3.61 CARATS CLARITY: VVS DIMENSIONS: 9.50 x 9.00 x 6.40mm COLOUR: AAA GREEN (AS IMAGE) CUT: FAT PEAR ORIGIN: DRC (CONGO)  TREATMENTS: 100% NATURAL & TOTALLY UNTREATED   This astonishingly beautiful Tourmaline is a literal 'tour de force' in every respect. The colour is sublime, and the cut magnificent. A Tourmaline of enormous presence with superb proportions. I am awed by it.   he 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.
