Comment: Spectacular bi-colored tourmaline with a deep mint green vertical center changing to golden brown, left and right, up or down. Its lucky symmetry, and the lapidary, kept the middle as sparkling axis with the outer edges swinging between brown and bright ochre. For those who are looking for a truly special gem: consider this uncommon beauty with "second-look-effect": once the eye has caught-on the surprising color-sparks, it MUST have a long second look and does not want to let go. Nicely visible also in the handshots where the green luster sits either like a star or, gem turned, runs like a straight line through the gem. Our quality standard, the 3*Nos -no treatments, no window, no inclusions- added to the perfect cut optimizing the unique color-distribution makes for a very special gem. A million miles from your standard tourmaline.
