I''ll have number 3 please

uh huh, nice color on that one!

 

[Barrett]

as a matter of fact all 3 are cuprian "paraiba" tourmalines..not one is an apatite...and the briolette is from paraiba international

 

[RockHugger]

We are both wrong, it is paraiba.

[Barrett]

you can''t edit you poost rockhougger..you said that number 2 was a apatite..thats cheating

 

[LD]

I actually wouldn't have classed no.1 as a Paraiba because (for me) it doesn't have the neon quality. It's a pretty cuprian tourmaline but doesn't have the "in yer face" attitude!

The second one had the colour (and the clarity is phenomenal) but why on earth cut it into a biolette? Oh no! Criminal!

I actually wouldn't buy it BECAUSE of the cut! That's just personal taste!

Now as for no.3 ............. I WANT IT! Any hints as to where I may find it Amguy?

Sounds like a plan! So it''s Friday? Where''s my gem?

 

[chrono]

I’ll take number 3 please. The colour is garish enough to deserve the name Paraibe. The other 2 are more of a cuprian.

 

[T L]

And although these are all gorgeous stones, I''ll take that fat pear on the lower right.

 

[chrono]

Oh YEAH! I’ll gladly take the oddly shaped pear in that lot too.

number 3

let me guess without looking further: nr 1 - paraiba
nr 2 - apatite
nr 3 - god knows what it is; possibly apatite (looks brittle)
Now back to your answers...

 

[Arkteia]

Ha-ha...guessed one out of three! I was always good at multiple choices but this is more difficult
Just wanted to check myself without looking at the end of the thread

 

[m76steve]

this is a brazillian paraiba-good color-very clean & authenticated as brazillian material-very nice in person...

 

[m76steve]

another pic of same stone...

 

[Harriet]

I''ll take the first stone on the page:

Confession...#3 was in my possession for a while. It''s a beautiful stone, but I''d prefer a facetted one.
