[GliderPoss]

Stumbled across this and thought someone PLEASE buy it and then post lots of pics and put me out of my misery!

Available here.

(Sorry I can''t add pic - don''t know how to do it on Mac. )

Is this the one?

"mint green tourmaline
a fabulus lovely gemstone
far better than the photo
cushion cut
slightly included but not as bad as photo shows
measures 10 x 10 mm "

I really hope it is better than the photo - I am not enamoured of it. The colour seems muddy.

lots of inclusions or merely dirty?

not necessarily the way you wanted to be put out of your misery....hearing negatives.

It''s not flawless I agree but thought it pretty nonetheless.....

It's pretty, and really similar in cutting to Arcadian's beautiful (and cleaner) Afghan tourmaline from Gene. It's not the most saturated stone, but these gems are difficult to find. I recently had to buy a piece of Afghan rough just to obtain a nice minty open color blue/green stone. It's just not that readily available.

But nah, this stone is not doing it for me either - sorry! I think you can obsess over better pozzum

Woah, for a minute there, I thought it was Arcadian’s stone cut by Gene because the cutting pattern is so similar.

I think what we are seeing are dirt and an oily sheen (in need of a good cleaning), not inclusions.
