Comment: This 1.47 earns a plus with the 'excellent'. Paraiba-type tourmaline from Mozambique, unheated, free of inclusions, precision cut, magic copper crystal, full brilliancy (rare in pear-shape), poised exactly between blue and green to my eyes (even if IGI needed to come down on one side). Note, under 'more images' how the cutter has choosen the perfect axis for the best color. All images were taken under simple day-light coming from the small roof-window in our new office, a mere square meter in size (which, BTW, is not a 'sky-light', as wrongly reported, because it is too small to open up a city-sky-line). Imagine the glitter under a chandelier! A simple pendant, four prongs, nothing more is needed, the gem does the rest.
