5.50ct Indicolite / Blue Tourmaline Rough Mineral Specimen

Over here at The Rutile, we pride ourselves in full disclosure of our gemstones, treatments, and how to properly care for your investment.

These are crucial details that most jewelry stores never tell their customers. We've been around long enough to know it's REALLY important to properly disclose gemstone information!  

• We tell you the total weight so discerning jewelry buyers will know exactly what they're getting.
• We tell you the treatments of the stones because the presence or lack of treatment can drastically influence price and some buyers have a preference on treatments. Some are permanent, some are not, some are common, some are not, and we're going to tell you whatever we know. No surprises here!
• We always try to know the source of our gemstones but occasionally we don't have access to this information. We like to share where the stone is usually sourced in these instances because it's really cool! #nerd
• Metaphysical stuff isn't for everyone but it's a fun conversation starter even if you don't believe in it!
