Comment: With near 10mm round this is a seriously sized tourmaline even though the hue seems to 'shrink' the gem. Cold green as opposed to flowery or 'veggie' green, more on the arctic side than a jungle green. Also, not darker than Medium 50-60 (see additional images). Note, how the brilliant precision cut melts color into luster when captured from a slight angle (as in 2nd handshot below). Zero inclusions, no window and no treatments. Minimal secondary yellow for tourmaline. Needs a ring size over 7 or better fill a pendant with just four prongs holding the bright color in the open.
