Rough version of Modified Smithsonian Bar Cut Tourmaline by Daniel Stair
Finished version of Modified Smithsonian Bar Cut Tourmaline by Daniel Stair
Modified Smithsonian Bar Cut Tourmaline, Congo, 4.40 Carats cts
I cut this tourmaline in a design much like Jeff Graham’s Smithsonian Bar, but added some extra facets to both the top and the bottom. The color is very much like a precious or imperial topaz. I could not see any actual inclusions under magnification, only a few crystal growth distortion lines. Technically, it’s easily eye clean and probably considered flawless.
