A tourmaline pair, such as this one from Natural Gemstone Company, typically refers to a matched pair of tourmaline gemstones, often used for earrings or other jewelry. They are described by their shape, color, carat weight, clarity, and cut. Tourmalines can be found in a wide variety of colors, including pink, green, blue, and watermelon. The pair may be naturally untreated, as Earth's Treasury offers.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of what a tourmaline pair description might include:

1. Color: Tourmalines are known for their vibrant colors, and a pair's description will specify the exact hue, such as "greenish-blue", "rich green to blue-green", or "sumptuous blue with a green modifier".

2. Clarity: This describes the absence of inclusions or flaws within the stone. A pair might be described as "eye-clean" (no visible inclusions at a glance), "slightly included", or "very slightly included".

3. Cut: This refers to the shape and style of the cut. Examples include "mixed brilliant cut", "cabochon cut", or "checkerboard cut".

4. Carat Weight: This indicates the total weight of the pair. For example, a pair might be described as weighing 2.70 carats total, or 11.62 carats total.

5. Shape: The shape of the tourmalines, such as pear-shaped, oval, round, or trillion.

6. Origin: The location where the tourmalines were mined, such as Brazil or Mozambique.

7. Other Details: Some descriptions might also include information about the polish, color intensity, and the presence of specific inclusions like "trichites" (hair-like inclusions).
