Hi All,
     Rubellite tourmaline would have to be one of the nicest gems. The Smith's Bar cut makes use of the crystal shape and copes with the dark C axis. Bought the rough at my first Minerama.
     
                          Cut as pendant stone for my daughter.
                                                                          beers Ted
Life isn't a rehearsal.
