I noticed an article in tips from the jewelers bench last week.
We picked up a collection of Oro Fino and Cruziero Mine Rubellite
and pink tourmaline recently. This is an old private collection.
Material like this is no longer mined.
Stones are from 5-20cts, absolute gem. Large, clean and the finest
most gemologist have seen in their lives.
