Description
This tourmaline represents some of the most desirable color to be found in this gem–a brilliant neon blue-green. The color is very similar to some of the best Paraiba tourmaline, but no copper in this one–and no heating or any other treatment. The a-b axes of the crystal are a beautiful neon blue-green; the c axis is a bit more yellow-green, but still brilliant. The gem was masterfully oriented and cut by Peter Torraca to highlight the blue-green color. It’s polished to a very brilliant finish, so the facets simply glow when they are hit by the light. This makes the gem brilliant even in very dim lighting.
Capturing the true color of this gem is difficult. In the daylight-balanced fluorescent lighting of my studio, the gem looks more green than it does in daylight, where it has a more blue-green hue.
The finished gem is eye clean, I’d rate it a VVS clarity. It measures 11.1 x 7.1 x 6.2 mm and weighs 3.90 carats.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
