Fancy Portuguese Octagon Cut Namibian Tourmaline, Namibia, 3.43 cts

This is an outstanding, extremely brilliant Namibian tourmaline that I’ve cut with Portuguese-style pavilion and a kind of sawtooth design on the crown. The color is more of an emerald green looking straight down into it, and then a Paraiba-like, greenish neon blue from some side angles. This is a very nice and unusual stone.
