NEON GREENISH BLUE TO ELECTRIC TURQUOISE GREEN
STONE 1 - THIS STONE IS SOLD!
8.09 Carats & 8x10x11 MM. This is a nice and blocky crystal
section shaped for high yield. Our personal recommendation would be a Brilliant
Cushion or some form of an Emerald Cut as it is practically preformed for that. The color runs from a Neon
Greenish Blue to
a Neon Blue. The stone looks like it should cut eye-clean or better with ease.
STONE 2
9.57 Carats & 8x9x13 MM. This is a nice and blocky crystal
section shaped for super high yield. The color on this is a cross between a
Minty Scope Green and a Minty Green. Our personal recommendation
would be some sort of Emerald Cut or an Oval. The stone looks
like it should cut eye-clean to very very slightly included with a little planning
and effort. If you spend a minute on it we don't anticipate you will get
anything less than Eye-Clean but that all depends on proper orientation. Please note that the stone does have some surface inclusions and
feathering. These are common for Tourmaline in general and are confined to the
rind for the most part. We anticipate that most inclusions should easily cut out with normal
faceting; however, you will have to take a few minutes to plan the orientation
of this stone to insure you get an eye-clean or better finished gemstone.
STONE 3
13.17 Carats & 6x6x28 MM. This is a nice and blocky crystal
section shaped for high yield. This is a Bicolor and the color on this runs
from a Neon Green to an almost Electric Turquoise Bluish Green. Our personal
recommendation would be some sort of Rectangular Cut. The
stone looks like it should cut eye-clean to very very slightly included with a little
planning and effort. Please note that the stone does have some minor
inclusions and feathering; however, these are confined to the surface or the
terminated tip for the most part. These are common for Tourmaline and we
anticipate that most inclusions should easily cut out with normal faceting;
however, you will have to take a few minutes to plan the orientation of this
stone to insure an Eye-Clean or better finished gem.

| DESCRIPTION: |
Awesome lot of three TOP Neon Greenish Blue to Electric Turquoise Green Afghan Tourmaline crystal sections for Faceting. Please see above for a detailed description of each particular stone. This is the material that has made Afghan Tourmaline the benchmark in Tourmaline perfection! It doesn't get much better than this (Nodules being the exception). Every one of these is a SUPER lovely color and an ideally shaped crystal section. This is the material that runs $150+ per carat once cut and is practically impossible to get your hands on in the rough. This is TOP faceting grade material and most stones should cut 10x clean with a little hard work and some planning unless otherwise noted above. Some stones do have some minor inclusions and fracturing; however, these are all confined to the surface or in close proximity to it and most should facet out with relative ease unless otherwise noted above. This lot is not for the amateur and this is PREMIUM ROUGH! If you are interested in similar colored material in smaller sizes there are several lots up and you should take a look at the particulars on them. This stuff has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Please note that this is being sold as a lot and is priced as such. If you are interested in purchasing a portion of this lot and not the lot in its entirety, drop us an email and we will see what we can do. |
