Tourmaline

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. Color: Peachy Golden Orange, Treatment: None Known, Cut: Modified Smithsonian Bar, Weight: 4.40 Carats, Dimensions: 13.66 x 6.72.
