Comment: Fresh, but never pale, mint green tourmaline in good size and dimensions (11x7mm). Innovative checkerboard cut with 3-D optics (see side image: concave front), precision cut. The magnifier (not the eye) caught a kite-shaped inclusion in the right lower corner. Charming colour-play and running lustre when in motion. Fine mint tourmaline, full AGL prestige report with certified unheated: there is nothing semi-precious here anymore. If you search a day or two, you may still find this quality 25-30% cheaper somewhere else on the web but not for long and surely not with a full no-heat AGL certificate and all other Wild Fish perks. Sooner or later we will have to get used to 1.5k/ct for fine tourmaline; the writing is on the wall.
