@Faodall, My query on the sizes were for informational identification purposes only on what was being talked about here only, although I can assume a general size for the piece in the video based on the tweezers, OP mentioned having more like this.

Yes, I'm well aware of that, Greg :D . Just a request for additional information about the material posted.

I'd like to know too. What you selling this stuff for Faodoll?

Typical East African poor color Tourmaline as suspected.

People always want to think they found something new special and very valuable. In reality it rarely happens. That looks nothing like the Usambara effect tourmaline

An exception here on the site involved a rare origin sapphire. But even then some recognized and suspected from the first picture.
