Comment: If this tourmaline looks different to you, well, that's because it is. See the side-image and check the depth - this gem has an experimental (precision) cut, with a fascinating result: The photo does capture how the extra depth gives an impression of silky smoothness towards the center. Very unique and not expensive because this is ?only' a classic green Ceylon tourmaline, no fancy neon or blue green. However, it shows how different every true gemstone is and must be. Way beyond industrial standardization a gemstone is by definition one-of-a-kind, no matter what the price. All else is nada.
