This superb loose natural tourmaline gemstone from Afghanistan is an embodiment of one of my favorite colours. I love the blending of green and blue within a gem that creates its own unique hue of teal. This one is a deep, rich hue, like the colour of the deep seas. This gem has a hint of mystery about it, a sultry personality and something that I can't quite put my finger on. I love this Afghan tourmaline and I'm very sure you will too. It is exceptional!

This is one of the finest blue indicolite tourmalines you'll come across. It might be small but geez, the colour is absolutely top shelf! It is an excellent blue hue and the tourmaline crystal it was cut from had an open "C" axis which is highly desirable and quite hard to find with indicolite tourmalines. This is an ideal size for any jewellery setting and is a tourmaline that I very highly recommend. A first class indicolite tourmaline.

This impressive and quite significant tourmaline gem was commission cut from a piece of rough supplied by the client.

This gem was a pleasure to work with and I created this design specifically for this stone.

Price : COMMISSION CUT

This is an exceptional matched pair of pink tourmaline Supernova ovals that a client commissioned me to recut for them from a pair of commercial cut gems. The originals were not very exciting and had some windowing that needed to be removed. The pavilion on the commercial cuts was quite bulbous which does no favours to the appearance of a gem. Most people don't realise that this sort of bulbous pavilion is actually a negative aspect in a gemstone and detracts from the ideal proportions and appearance. It is done by commercial cutting factories purely because it is quick and retains weight.

I decided to recut them in one of my favorite oval designs in order to close the window and put more life and brilliance into the stone as well as making them as matched as possible. The result is a much finer, better looking pair of tourmaline gemstones.

I've included some before shots of the original commercial cut gems so that you can clearly see how they looked prior to recutting.

Comments : This is an outstanding tourmaline that I have cut in my Harlequin design. The gem is quite bright and very lively, the dance within the gem is beautiful as you rock the stone back and forth. The tourmaline is much pinker in the hand then the pics suggest, the camera couldn't quite capture the colour just right. This is a large stone and very fine in all regards. It was cut from gem rough supplied by the client.

It is a companion stone to #1238, a yellow green tourmaline.

Comments : A really cool yellow green tourmaline, the very first one to be cut in my new Harlequin design. I like the diamond effect and it is a very lively and beautiful tourmaline. This fine gem was cut from rough supplied by the client.

I've also included a couple of pics of the original rough so you can see how it started off.

Size : 7.85x7.85x5.7mm
Price : SOLD

Comments : These Nigerian pink tourmalines are fantastic stones. This fine tourmaline is what I would call "hot" pink and is very vivid and intense. This is a really nice gem, I just love pink tourmalines! You can see the original rough stone here. This design is my variation on the Standard Round Brilliant - I decided to do "spilt mains" on the crown facets which gives the gem a few more facets and a bit more sparkle and fire. This beauty is perfect for any jewellery setting you can imagine, especially a ring or a pendant. A first-class hot pink tourmaline from Nigeria, a beautiful stone.

Comments : One of my favorite hues in the world of coloured gems is this blue green that is found in really fine tourmalines like this one. This is a beautiful blue green tourmaline that I cut from a particularly challenging piece of rough. It was hard going for various reasons but the end result is stunning and ideally sized for an amazing ring setting.

Comments : A truly outstanding bicolour tourmaline showing a peach / green combination. This tourmaline was a recut of a poorly done commercial cut. The original cutting was not done well at all and really didn't make the tourmaline look very good at all. Decision was made to recut the tourmaline to try and emphasise the wonderful bicolour nature of the gem. I am very pleased with the result... looks much much better now. :-)

Pink Tourmaline, Antique Round Royale, Afghanistan, #888, 2.67 Carats, 8.00x8.00x6.68mm, Precision Hand Faceted By Doug Menadue :: Bespoke Gems

Stone : Pink Tourmaline
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2016
Item : #888
Design : Antique Round Royale
Origin : Afghanistan
Treatments : None
Weight : 2.67 Carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 8.00x8.00x6.68mm
Price : SOLD

Comments : This is an outstanding pink tourmaline from Afghanistan. This is among my most favorite of stones to work with. There is something about the Afghani tourmalines which makes them the among the finest in the world. This beauty is truly superb, the colour is what I would call "candy" pink and is intense! The gem was orientated and cut down the "C" axis which is the way to get the best colour out of a stone. You can see the original tourmaline crystal here. The design I chose is one of my classic designs, the Antique Round with a slight variation on the crown. I decided to do what's called "split mains" which gives some extra facets and sparkles to the gem, this is why I've added the "Royale" suffix to the design name.

Overall, this is a first-class pink tourmaline gemstone and one that I know you will absolutely fall in love with. A very highly recommended gemstone and definitely one for those that love PINK!

Comments : Congratulations to Alistair Kelsey on his win in the 2017 Jewellers Association of Australia annual awards where he took out the 2017 Australian Jeweller of the Year award. Alistair created a stunning multicoloured masterpiece which featured a beautiful 13.66 carat Nigerian pink tourmaline as the centre stone. I was lucky enough to be able to cut this beautiful tourmaline for Alistair.

This gem started as a very fine tourmaline crystal weighing 29.3 carat. It was ideally shaped for a nice long emerald baguette style design. The design featured nice long facets that accentuate the wonderful colour and really added a sense of simple elegance to the finished gem. I have included some pics of the original crystal and while it was being cut.

Comments : Here is a very fine pair of very well matched pink tourmalines from Nigeria. They have been cut in a variation of the round brilliant design called Mini-Mint. They are both eye clean, bright and vivid. The colour is an intense pink and they would be perfect for a pair of amazing earings or stud. Matched pairs are quite hard to come by, especially such a well matched pair like these Nigerian pink tourmalines.

Rubellite Tourmaline, Kalli Oval, Nigeria, #661

Stone : Rubellite Tourmaline
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2014
Item : #661
Design : Kalli Oval (Doug Menadue)
Origin : Nigeria
Treatments : None
Weight : 9.1 Carat
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 10.6x12.5x11.4 mm
Price : SOLD

Comments : This is truly a one-of-a-kind gemstone. This is a beautiful piece of rubellite tourmaline, eye clean with deep rich colours. The design was inspired by the round design called 'Kalli' by Jeff Graham. I created it specifically for this tourmaline. It is a very challenging design to facet but the results are worth it. In the sunlight the colour shows a very bright hot pink with lots of fire and action and there are many hues in this stone right through to rubellite. There are purples, violets, pinks and reds. It is truly unique and a connoisseur's stone.

When I first took it off the dopstick and out into the sun it took my breath away. The pics just can't capture how stunning this gem is. It just lit up like a pink ball of fire... as if the sun came down and decided to throw a party inside. The colour is like a hot deep candy pink when the sun lit it up.

If you did want to set it in a piece of jewellery then it would suit a bezel setting of some kind. It has a high dome, much like a high domed cabochon except with lots and lots of facets... 201 facets to be precise. A true masterpiece and a fine example of the gemcutter's art.

Comments : Here ia a stunning rubellite tourmaline cut in the classic 'Asscher' design. Colourwise I would class it as a rubellite and referring to the trusty Old Holland oil masters colour chart I'd say there are hints of cobolt violet light and scheveningen violet with deep salmon pink highlights... the pics really don't do justice to this gem. It is a beautiful gem, richly coloured, eye clean and an excellent size for a ring stone. Superb!

In the sunlight the gem is dazzling with fire and sparkles. The gem is eye clean and first class, top shelf.

Comments : Here are two of the finest Afghan tourmalines of this type that you could hope to find. They are exceptional gems in every regard and they are very well matched which makes them even rarer. I have cut them in the modern classic Smith Bar design. This design is one of my favorites and works so well in tourmaline. One of them has a noticeable blue zone near one end and the other has a touch of blue but its not as noticeable. They are very close to eye clean with just a few small minor inclusions near the ends. They would make a very special pair of earrings or perhaps a pair of cufflinks. Alternatively they would make very good investment or collector gems. This pair of gems is a very special and rare offering, truly unique. These gems will be sold as a pair. This is a unique opportunity to own a very fine pair of Afghan tourmalines.

Comments : Tourmaline is a gem that comes in almost every colour imaginable and often in breathtaking combinations. It is thought that the Dutch, importing it from Sri Lanka to Europe in the early 1700's gave it the Sinhalese name, Turamali, meaning "stone with mixed colors". Gems with two or three colors are much sort after, such as blue/greens, mint greens/clear, pink/greens and gold/red. For example, a certain mixture of colours is called watermelon tourmaline where, cut in a cross section, the outer rind appears green whilst the inside is pink. Pinks (intense hot pink and light bubblegum pink), reds and blues are the most desired colors. Some tourmaline gems are treated in order to improve their colour.

In the last 20 years tourmaline has gained great popularity among gem collectors and the gem buying public because of its beauty, availablity and myriad colors. It cuts a stunning gem and suits almost all design styles. Fine examples of tourmaline can be obtained in relatively large sizes though 2 - 10 carats is a popular size range. Tourmaline often has inclusions and eye clean gems are the most desirable. Tourmaline forms as beautiful long crystals and are a great favorite among mineral specimen collectors. This stone can also be found in alluvial deposits as water worn nodules.

A curious property of tourmaline is that when heated and cooled, or by applied pressure, it will become electrically charged (pyro and piezo electricty). The charged stone can attract pieces of paper and dust. It was also used to pull ash out of meerschaum pipes by the Dutch who understood this property of tourmaline. They called tourmaline "aschentrekker" (ash puller).

One thing that can affect the colour and arguably the "quality" and price of a tourmaline gem is if it has what's called a
closed "C" axis. What does this mean? Well, given a tourmaline crystal in its original shape, if you look down the crystal (as if you were looking down a metal pipe) and it appears black or very very dark, this tourmaline is said to be "closed", like pulling a curtain across a window. If you can clearly see down the crystal even though the colour may change slightly, eg. a pink tourmaline might look peachy down the "C" axis, it is said to be "open". When a tourmaline with a closed "C" axis is cut, the resulting gem will in all likelihood appear darkish, especially around the ends if it is a rectangluar design. All things being equal, an "open" gem should demand a higher price then a "closed" gem. You can see an example of an open "C" axis tourmaline in the rough here.
