Comment: A highly diverse indicolite running from neon green-blue to deep sea blue and back. While one side is darker, as often in long tourmaline crystals there is no black-out in the end but remaining the darkest of all blues. Immediately outstanding with a smoothly running luster of jumping sparks and flashes in different blue. No window, no inclusions, no treatments and precision cut. Its length suggests a pendant for settings but this is also a collector gem. Indicolites are a rare form of blue tourmaline (mostly green, some pink and red, few blue). If for a ring, then 10x4mm will need a size 7, unless you set the gem with the finger but that might be hazardous for gem and eyes. Unique in shape, cut and color combinations.
