An interesting Tourmaline showing one of the most astonishingly blue bodycolors we have ever seen in in the species. If you are familiar with this material, you will immediately know its one downfall - it is quite dark in tone. Happily, in stones of this size, the color is very visible and quite impressive and the stone retains a good deal of brilliance. Great cutting and entirely clean - there is some pleochroism that will show a slightly greenish-blue oriented on one axis, but it is minimal and the blue is quite dominant. Lovely example, these are scarce now.
