This emerald cut was made for its pale citrus yellow without green color. It is flawed right down the middle of the emerald cut, but it still has a bit of beauty. It weighs 1.15 color.
When I started cutting gemstones again after a long hiatus, I bought only small material. The first dealers I worked with on the internet were really junk deals. The posted citrus yellow emerald cut was an attempt to get something decent out of a lot of small included material from Brazil. The stones tone value makes it eligible to be an IceT member, but I do like its clean yellow pastel color. It has a white non-flashing flaw right down the long dimension of the emerald cut, but the stone still has its color and a bit of beauty. I have never gotten material quite like it again. The gemstone weighs 1.15 carats and is an IceT member.

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.
