The inclusions in the standard droplet of color are toward the girdle and do not impact the stone too much. It is an average green with a medium dark tone value. It weighs .86 carats and is a droplet.
This standard round brilliant has a couple of white flaws and a faint feather that are next to the girdle. They do not impact the beauty of the gemstone very much. The rest of the stone has decent clarity and a middle of the road green that is pretty stable. Its darker tone level keeps it from being a very flashy gemstone. It weighs .86 carats and is a droplet.

About Bruce Fry
I was born in Summit, NJ in 1947 and graduated from Summit High School in 1966. I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in 1970 and after spending another year in graduate school, I left to see the world of Brazil. After spending some more time discovering myself, I ended up working for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 32 years as an Air Quality Engineer in the Department of Environmental Protection. I retired in 2007 and took up faceting gemstones again after a long hiatus that reached back to my twenties. I had started cutting cabochons when I was 13 and bought my first faceting machine when I was 15, but ran out of money and time until I retired.
My great love in gemology is tourmaline and the collection presented here represents my effort to get as much beauty and variety in the colors of tourmaline as I can. I was particularly lucky in being able to get unheated cuprian tourmaline before copper was discovered in gem grade tourmaline from Mozambique.
