DESCRIPTION:

Amazing Neon Blue color on the AB with a very slight hint of Green and a Neon Mint Green C Axis with a hint of Blue. Slightly but not heavily dichroic. This is pretty close to perfection in color for Tourmaline!

The stone DOES have some inclusions that you will have to plan for when faceting. The third picture shows the nodule waiting to come out of the rough. That nodule looks practically CLEAN and should cut eye-clean or better with relative ease. The nodule looks like it will weigh in at about 50% of the total weight of the stone and THAT is what we have priced the stone on; however, I think there clearly are other smaller stones that could be faceted from the remaining rough that may cut eye-clean or better. The nodule and stone are ideally shaped for high yield with the nodule looking like it will be 10x11x17 MM.
