That’s what I have done too , keeping this one and continue to look for the unicorn stone is a good idea also. I just wasn’t sure if you were looking for “the one” or if you are a stone hoarder like me and don’t mind having different shades of the same color. It might take you a while to find a stone like the ones pictured in Acinom’s collage, so you could enjoy this one in the meantime if you end up keeping it. Your stone looks nice and bright in the outside pictures!Thanks for saying it’s very pretty. And I agree it doesn’t look like my inspiration pics. I think that’s the problem. It’s so different that maybe I should keep it and try again for another blue green tourmaline. So basically that’s the opposite of what you said which I totally agree with. Decisions!
I think @2Neezers gave some great advice.
If you love it you should keep it. If not, send it back (I wish I was better at doing that ).
Yes! It’s great advice! Though I’m starting to love it for what it is rather than for what I was expecting it to be. It’s very hard to send gems back because they are all so pretty.

Isn’t that the truth!It’s very hard to send gems back because they are all so pretty.

Elle, thanks for keeping a look out! That looks really pretty! I bet it will be snapped up quickly.
I originally was hoping for a greenish blue to set in white gold. But the gem that came was a slightly bluish green. It might not have been what I had in my head, but after a few days with it, I love the color! It’s just so pretty and shines when next to yellow gold, so that’s probably how I’ll set it. It’s a keeper!
I love the way your tourmaline looks with yellow gold. Just beautiful!
Very pretty! Enjoy setting and wearing it.
Was thinking about you as @SparkliesLuver is selling her Afghan blue green ring via Loupetroop. Center stone is from Gene (Precision Gem)
