This is a pretty, shifty blue green emerald cut. It has a medium light tone level and is only mildly dichroic. Unfortunately it has failed and now has a radial flaw. It weighs .86 carats.
This bright open blue green emerald cut has sparkle in the ends. It has a more shift in its color than the more common yellow greens which is pleasing. Unfortunately this gemstone appears to have failed and there is a significant radial flaw that extends about half way up from the culet. Still it is a pretty display stone. It weighs .86 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.
