Pink Tourmaline 4mm Trillion Sugarloaf Cabochon

This pink tourmaline trillion sugarloaf cabochon delivers a medium- to dark-pink color and durability that are an appealing choice for jewelry of all types. One of the most intriguing and desirable cabochon styles, sugarloaf cabs are cut to have a rounded, pyramid-like upper surface instead of the typical domed profile; the edges of the pyramid are rounded rather than being sharply angled. In this gem, the base is three-sided, like a trillion-cut gemstone. Use on its own as an accent, in matched pairs for earrings or combine it with gemstones in complementary colors of reds and purples, such as garnets and amethyst. Tourmaline is one of the birthstones for October. Pink tourmaline derives its color from its manganese content; our pink tourmaline presents a soft, rosy color. This gemstone displays veil-like inclusions. Gems known as tourmaline generally come from elbaite, one member of the larger tourmaline family of minerals. Gem tourmaline is hard and usually transparent, with a range of colors coming from trace minerals specific to the source location of each particular gemstone.
