Green Tourmaline, 0.80 ct Faceted from Nigeria

This stone is a glowing yellowish mint green color, much like a Merelani mint garnet. It is from the newer batch of rough I have that appears to be copper bearing paraiba-like material. The only stone tested so far did test positive for copper content, but this particular stone has not been checked. Color is much better in person than photo shows. Color: Mint Green, Cut: Modified Round Brilliant, Weight: 0.80, Dimensions: 5.8 mm. (Information supplied by photo contributor.) © Daniel Stair, CustomGemstones.com
