Seeing all sorts of blue green tourmaline lately and Paraiba name is being spread all over the place like butter on bread.  So I thought I'd have a slice but of course I'm not going to ask some ridiculous price.   Nor will I offer some ugly shallow cut heavily included stone and expect people to buy but I see some offering high on junk these days and wonder where they went to school.

This one is offered up at $105/ct or $1271 for the stone on buy it now.   Perhaps it will start for $100/ct and I'll see what happens.   This material is priced all over the place online but never under this price for this quality.   You can't get close to these offers I give unless your camped out in Rwanda and have years of experience in not getting shot and robbed.  Better to let me take those risks and then give you the best deals as I enjoy my line of work.

Stone is Si quality under magnification.  Eye clean gemstone.  Very top quality cutting.  Full brilliance cut.  Paraiba type color.  

I wanted to test for copper.   GRS here in Canada asked to send it to NYC GRS affiliate as they only could test positive for Paraiba.   Then was told when I was chatting with the gemologist that most certs for Paraiba are bogus and based upon a test that isn't positive and mostly gives a positive reading.  Testing equipment is expensive and only well trained technicians are qualified.  Certs such as these are only done at the main GIA, GRS, Lotus gem labs.   Not the affiliated labs such as this certificate that cannot test proof positive for copper and isn't about to pretend they can like many other reports.   Please remember top cutting is extra expensive and so are top quality certification reports.
