A lot of these will cut clean but they are graded VS to SI. There are some that will not. The parcels are more included but you can cut a few pretty clean stone, and the incusions will not show in the darker color. This material is very good practice and cheap.

Nigerian Tourmaline
Locality: Nigeria, Africa

 

Tourmaline is my favorite thing to cut, it has the best color range, availability, hardness, and ease of cutting/polishing (not to mention easy to sell) of almost any other gem. With the huge find that occurred in Nigeria around the mid to late 90's, there is a larger selection of material available than ever before. The color ranges from Rubellite purple/pink/bubble. This material is the same as on my "Tourmaline" page, these are stones that are just a little included...
