Awesome lot of Neon to Yellowish Green Congolese Tourmaline Select Faceting Rough. This lot is primarily a Neon Green to a Vibrant Yellowish Green in color and I would say that roughly 90% of this material is Top Facet Grade. Roughly 1/2 of these stones have a closed C Axis; however, the closure looks to be due to the darker Green color at one end of some of the stones. I'm pretty confident that some of these stones will have a C Axis that opens up a bit at the least if you clip off the darker Green.

Please note that this is NOT that Olive Green material that has plagued the market from Africa. This is some of the brightest Yellowish Green Tourmaline we have seen in quite some time and there isn't too much of it produced. Most of the stones in this lot will cut eye-clean or better with the bulk being able to facet 10x clean. Practically every stone in the lot is a nice crystal section capable of giving above average yield. The stones are nice and bright and should hold their color well once cut. This is NOT small material with the average weight running over 11 CARATS! If these were Afghani in origin we probably could not buy them at $35 Per Gram! The price on this just does not get any better!
