A very soft and understated elegance is achieved with this
pendant slide as a band of 14kt gold gently wraps around an oval pink tourmaline and a cabachon
genuine blue sapphire caps the bottom for a nice finishing touch.Gem
quality tourmaline is mined chiefly in Brazil and Africa. Almost every
color of tourmaline can be found in Brazil, especially in the Brazilian states
of Minas Gerais and Bahia. The pink color of tourmalines from many fields is
the result of a continued natural irradiation. During their growth, these
tourmalines are by nature very pale. Their granitic environment exposes to them
a natural gamma ray exposure due to radioactive decay causing the gradual
formation of the pink to red color.
