Green Tourmaline, 5.51 ct Faceted from Nigeria

Extremely nice color for a Nigerian green tourmaline. This one shows flashes of slightly bluish green and yellowish green, with only a tiny bit of olive green showing on the long edges. The cut is a modified brilliant oval with some extra facets on the bottom and a supernova crown design, so it is nice and lively compared to most other ovals. Color: Medium Green, Cut: Fancy Brilliant Oval, Weight: 5.51, Dimensions: 9.3 x 12.8 mm. (Information supplied by photo contributor.) © Daniel Stair, CustomGemstones.com
