Comment: This stone is possibly a Uvite, as I've seen Uvites this color from Tanzania. With that said, it is definitely an unusual color of Tourmaline The stone has a pastel orange hue with beautiful light yellow highlightsl The stone has an "Oval" cut. The stone is nearly eye clean, which is not common in Tourmalines this size. I haven't seen many Tourmalines this color from any locality, and it would definitely round out a Tourmaline gem suite to show off the various colors of these stones. A very cool, gem with an interesting color.
