Item Description Pictures Bidding History Comments

Pictures do not do it justice. If your serious and want better pictures let me know and I'll get them to do it right.

I tried to show the stone without any reflection from the facits so you can see through for clarity.

See the beautiful emerald green tone. This is a beautiful color.

Nice emerald cut blue green tourmaline. Top emerald green tone. Color has a lot to do with price. It is the most important C of the 3 C's. Color, clarity, cut.

I purchased a couple parcels of cut green and blue stones from Namak Mandi market in Peshawar Pakistan.  I sent a blue and a green stone away for apprasial and certification at Harold Weinstein Labs.  I'm listing the stones on the auction site at less than trade value.  Trade in the industry is considered the value that jewelers purchase at themselves.  Tripple key pricing.  Trade is 1/2 wholesale and 1/3 retail.  The same as given in the Stuller book of Colored Stones and Diamonds.  I tried to purchase the most pleasing tones to the eyes as isn't that what its all about?

Certified apprasied stones are taken from parcels.  Stones from the same parcels are offered for less in the non certified section of this auction site.  Just look at the price and see what type of deal your getting.  Appraised prices are at fair market value as deemed by the gemologist at the time of certification.  Please note the date on the apprasials.

I have little bits of information here and there.  You can't copy paste when loading stones for auction and I'm slow working with the computer.

Dark teal bluish green.  Looks like chrome color but I have not tested it.  Tone is definately a deep rich emerald color.  It is a very rich looking color.  I think this stone is quite valuable because of the superior color tone and exceptional clarity.  This is the color.  When you have many colors to chose beside each other that is when you can tell which one is best.  This is one of those best colors!
