3.97ct Bright Neony Blue Tourmaline
|
This
material displays a
bright blue under incandescent and sunlight, and a more subdued blue
under incandescent. This gem was faceted from the rough by our
U.S. Cutters. There may be some small inclusions within the
stone, but nothing that detracts from the beauty - note that this is
typically expected when one finds a color like this in tourmaline.
A Paraiba look-a-like! Far less saturated blue, but still neony,
fetches $2,000/ct (wholesale) in Thailand. This is faceted not
only in
the US and the cutting is superior to most cutting done in Thailand,
but the inclusions are small and the color is head and shoulders above
the color just described that is occasionally seen in the gemstone
buying offices in Thailand. (norgem-98b-c1) $6,948

Green Blue or Blue Green
Tourmaline -
U.S Faceted
The gemstones below will color shift under different lights.
Typically, under fluorescent lights, the color is subdued, pastel
or lighter. Under sunlight or incandescent light, the colors are
much brighter and some are neony. The photos below where
photographed under office fluorescent lights. Note also that
these colors typically have some inclusions but none of the stones
below have anything that is detrimental. These gemstones are also
highly dichroic so turning the gemstone slightly may give an entirely
different color such as blue, green and variations of those colors.
You can see this natural physical characteristic of tourmaline
in the photos below .

4.93ct Bluish Green Tourmaline

This
tourmaline picks up
different colors depending on the available light. It can be a
bright bluish green to a deeper blue green. The cutting style on
this piece is unique and has a nice play of light. There is a
stress fracture deep in the stone which can be seen in the photos.
This is very typical of tourmaline and in this case, it should
not affect the setting of the gemstone and it is not very visible due
to the cutting and scintillation of the stone when it is being moved
around or being worn as a piece of jewelry. The line that is
visible in the photo above is what is being described. It is
evident in the photos since the photo is still and the fine faceting of
the piece is not sparkling. If this bothers the purchaser, the
stone can be made smaller and this line removed. For the size of
the stone, along with the color and the cutting, the price is very
reasonable. $1,109 (FIVLGEM-96-001)
