This is a three stone suite that shows the pleochroism in tourmaline. A pleochroic stone has different colors depending on the crystal axis being viewed. Tourmaline often has one color down the c-axis and one or more along the long axis. This stone was a green stone on the surface with a yellow-brown c-axis. The final product is a green stone with hints of yellow-green.
This is a well cut native set.
