ch23 - Dumortierite - $ 100 SOLD Alpine, San Diego County, California, USA miniature, 5.7 x 2.7 x 1.1 cm ex. Chuck Houser
Ugly, but it is what it is....and is possibly a pseudo after tourmaline, in this case.
GEMS-084 - Dumortierite - $ 200 SOLD Madagascar thumbnail, 5.0 x 2.6 mm ; 0.15 carats
Dumortierite is a rather rare gem, and is only found in a few world localities in facettable material. This stone is from a lesser known locality in Madagascar. The color of this stone is a light smoky blue shade, and is very slightly included with a "Pear" cut. I've only seen a few of these stones over the years, and rarely are they completely eye clean, even in smaller stones. This gem is a great rarity indeed, and would make a brilliant additional to any rare stone suite.

5.7 x 2.7 x 1.1 cm. Not very attractive, but it is what it is....and is possibly a pseudomorph of dumortierite after tourmaline, in this case. Ex. Chuck Houser Collection.
