{"product_id":"tourmaline","title":"Tourmaline - Round Cut Facet","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThis delicate dusky pink Tourmaline is precision-cut into a classic 3.5mm round with a notably deep 2.7mm height. Unlike the bright \"bubblegum\" pink of synthetic stones, this natural tourmaline features a sophisticated, muted rose hue - often referred to as \"dusky\" or \"antique\" pink. The substantial depth relative to its diameter allows for a deep pavilion, which helps concentrate the color and prevents the \"windowing\" (transparency in the center) often seen in shallower cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eIts petite size and understated, elegant color make it a perfect choice for high-end accent stones, dainty stacking rings, or as part of a multi-stone \"omber\" gradient design in a pendant or bracelet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eKey Properties \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eTourmaline is a complex silicate mineral known for its incredible range of colors.
