Pink Tourmaline Facet Repair: Can It Be Polished?

Question
I have a 3 carat pink tourmaline and its a bit beat up. It is of excellent color and clarity but the exterior facets look nicked.  Can this be polished?

Answer
HI JEANETTE,

ABSOLUTELY! TOURMALINE IS A VERY EASY STONE TO REPOLISH. I WOULD SUGGEST FINDING A LOCAL LAPIDARY IN YOUR AREA AND TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THEIR WORK AND FIND ONE THAT WOULD SATISFY YOU. ALSO ASK THE PRICE OF A REPOLISH, SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO IT AND OVERCHARGE. GOOD LUCK.
