Looks Si quality on magnified inspection. Very beautiful mint green color. Insanely beautiful stone with fully reflective color from being master cut. Very nearly eye clean.
Open C stone. No change in color when stone is viewed in different directions.
I took a shot to show how the color does not change when looking down the C axis called Pleochroic. Most tourmaline show this pleochroism. In most cases it's better to have an open c tourmaline as normally the color difference is not as pleasing to the eyes but not always.
ple·o·chro·ic
/ˌplēəˈkrōik/
adjective
(of a crystal) absorbing different wavelengths of light differently depending on the direction of incidence of the rays or their plane of polarization, often resulting in the appearance of different colors according to the direction of view.
