my impulse purchase

[velogrrrrl]

a few nights ago i popped on ebay to just look at some gemstones and before i knew it i bid on a tourmaline because it was so pretty and sparkly in the video. it hasn''t arrived yet, but i hope it is pretty in person. here''s a picture:

What is it called?

Scissor, I think.

Elongated scissor cut. I just got a tourmaline from that same vendor (if it''s who I think it is) in the same cut. It''s blue/green and very pretty.

Post pics when you get it!

I looked at that same stone and was going to bid. I didn't though - not because it wasn't pretty but I managed to stop myself from buying more! I was stuck with certain ebayers for combined shipping.

Ooh it is lovely! I can''t wait to see pictures of it when you get it.

thanks everyone!! i promise to post pics when it arrives. i do love the color, and it looks pretty clean in the photo and video (at least to me).

one question though- do you think this stone windows? i can recognize an obvious window when the middle is all clear... but this does not look like that to me. am i missing it? i would like to learn how to judge whether something windows better.
