Please note when viewing high quality gemstones on the net there are certain limitations:
1. Most monitors display images at varying dots per inch (dpi)
and are not color-corrected.
2. GIF and JPEG formats compromise quality.
3. Browsers can only "see" 216 of 256 colors.
Since every system, browser, and monitor is different, we don't know if what you and we see are the same.

NGC Comment: A pure green natural Mozambique tourmaline. Looks like a green diamond for a fraction of the price. The gemstone has a light electric color and resembles the Brazilian Paraiba material. The gemstone's inclusions are hard to see at LI2-MI1.The stone has good depth for a round and the brilliancy of a diamond. The proportions and finish are way above anything you normally see in the marketplace. The stone was cut by a master Swiss cutter. An interesting gemstone to collect or a different stone to mount in jewelry. Based upon past mining strikes, it is always financially prudent to purchase this material when it first hits the market.
