Shifty Yellow Tourmaline - Pink and Green Undertones - Precision-Cut by Scott Maier - 1.33 ct.

Gem:  Tourmaline Weight:  1.33 ct. Dimensions:  6.75 x 7.7 mm (flat side to flat side, and then point to point) Clarity: VVS+ / Eye Clean Origin  Rubaya Mine, DRC Design / Cutting by: Faceted by:  Scott Maier in a design created by Arya Akhavan Treatments:  None, natural gemstone Comments: This tourmaline is WAY cool!  From the time I bought it, through most of cutting, and even in the finished gem, it looks yellow.  Like, canary yellow.  However, during cutting, I noticed that the yellow is created through a stacked color combo of very light green, and very light pink.  The green is in the culet, and the pink fills the remainder of the pavilion, and the crown.  This gives the green a unique power to come up THROUGH the pink to create the yellow.   This means that in situations of unique lighting, you can see the pink and the green separately, doing very neat things within the gem. You can catch this unique show of it's colors at sunset, and in warm-light situations.  Most of the rest
