A standard round brilliant, non copper, less tone level than the following cuprian purple, but very similar hue (color). It weighs 1.01 carats.
This standard round brilliant is a beauty. It is clean and bright and filled with a medium purple color that has to make a lover of color in tourmaline smile (Me). It weighs .77 carats and is a droplet of color.
A standard round brilliant, cuprian, a bit darker than the non copper above, but with a similar hue. It weighs .77 carats.
This purple does not have a great deal of gray or brown in it and it is non-cuprian. This gives the newly mined droplet of color, a look that is remarkably close to a cuprian purple with the same tone value. I will post pictures of both gemstones and let you see for yourself. When I get my spectrometer set up for color analysis, I will have to check these two attractive gemstones out. The posted non-cuprian purple is bright, eye clean and with fine crystal. It weighs 1.01 carats.
