This is a beautiful gemstone. Its medium dark, flash driven green with a touch of blue, is great. It has great crystal and it is eye clean. It weighs 1.18 carats.
This smaller emerald cut has a color many real emeralds would be jealous of. It is medium dark green with a touch of blue. It appears to be eye clean and has completely open ends. Such sparkle in a darker gemstone. Crystal quality is not a problem. It weighs 1.18 precious carats.

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.
