I read this post and your mint post so combining my questions...
First of all- I am so envious of your mint tourmaline!!! It sounds amazing!
I am trying to figure out what would be the best looking tourmaline for my RHR and dream setting posted above by LM. I fell in love with a huge teal tourmaline that looks amazing when any light catches it- but like many blue/green colored tourmalines that are not paraibas- in very low lighting it can get dark. I am wondering if any nice lighter tourmaline like your minty green one will look better in low lighting? I prefer to set tourmaline without diamond sides or halo so I need to find just the right stone that can stand alone.
I was curious if you looked at their huge minty green princess cut tourmaline in real life and if it is as awesome as the picture? I am posting a picture of the teal one I fell in love with- but trying to decide if an overall lighter colored tourmaline would look better in LM dream setting?
This is the teal one that is really way too big to have halo 12x12 (I like huge rings).
I find the first one more interesting.Date: 9/4/2007 11:07:39 PM

And this is a smaller teal one I found, but it seems more blue than green and I prefer them on the green side. This one is not cut nearly as well as one above. But this one is small enough that I could do diamond accents...
Opinion?
It would be gorgeous in that setting.Date: 9/4/2007 11:29:33 PM

Yes- the first one is VERY interesting. The cut is perfect and it REALLY does glow like that when the light hits it. Can''t you picture it in that LM setting! Yummy!
I want something uncommon- so no blue sapphires, red rubies, or green emeralds. That is why I like your minty green one and i like this teal one too. If $$$ was falling from the sky, but could only pick ONE. Do you think you would pick the minty princess cut or the teal? I know tough question for ya since not seen either in real life (and you obviously like minty green since you got one for yourself).
Oh WOW. That''s gonna be GORGEOUS set in the HW setting. REALLY REALLY STUNNING. Now I really can''t wait.Date: 9/4/2007 5:01:50 PM

i understand. This is why I wish B&M stores had the same great variety as online! you have to see a bunch at the same time to really pick a favorite!
