Comment: Two flashy purple red-pink tourmaline aka rubellite. Untreated, no window, no visible inclusions, though one has inclusions under the lens, the other is squeaky clean. Only Mozambique has produced such color, remarkable especially in 40 points, where many gems loose their color, needing one or two carats to come out this strong. Great fun in studs or as sidestones for high-end jewelry. IGI report for both. Four+ mm round. Precision cut. Good luster. Beating many rubies at a fraction of cost. Closer to red than pink IMO.
