Scissor Topped Baguette Cut Tourmaline, Congo, 2.75 cts

This stone is a beautiful, Paraiba-like neon blue color, but a bit darkish in the ends and a bit less than eye clean. You can see a little twinkle in one end of the bottom, and may see some other minor inclusions in extremely bright light. Overall, it’s a fairly clean looking stone and would probably work well in a pendant. This one falls into the category of a really nice “factory second”.
