This trilliant cut has a few minor inclusions and is a bit hazy because of having a lower grade crystal. Its green with a bit of yellow is nice and spicy, which makes the stone attractive. It weighs 2.37 carats.

I love this gemstone. It is a GEM, though it is one of the darker chrome tourmalines that I have cut. Darkness falls by the wayside because of the absolute purity of green that this stone flashes. The stone's cut and relatively small size also brings out the best in the material. It weighs1.33 carats.

This dichroic shield cut has only a moderate level of flash. Its two colors are a pale green and a more olive green. It appears to be eye clean, but it lacks great transparency. It weighs 1.75 carats.

This pastel green, heavily included shield cut has a glow that aspires to be in there with the cuprian gemstones. It is not cuprian according to my spectrometer, but it is a pretty stone. It weighs 3.15 carats.

This gem is beautiful despite its inclusions. The trilliant's table is cut at about 45 degrees to the c axis and that produces a great mixing of the dichroic colors. It weighs 3.11 carats.
