I have seen it before and I hope to see it again. A beautifully formed emerald cut with four rows of facets on the pavilion and three rows of facets on the crown. This forms the structure to display a sophisticated shade of blue the wanders into a green with an incandescent light, that is hard to describe, but here goes. It is a bright yet pastel green that has not left its blue side completely behind, yet speaks for itself. If it was a bit more grayed my mother would love it. The emerald cut really shouts out with its great crystal and flawless nature. It has a medium light tone level and weighs 4.13 carats.

About Bruce Fry
I was born in Summit, NJ in 1947 and graduated from Summit High School in 1966. I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in 1970 and after spending another year in graduate school, I left to see the world of Brazil. After spending some more time discovering myself, I ended up working for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 32 years as an Air Quality Engineer in the Department of Environmental Protection. I retired in 2007 and took up faceting gemstones again after a long hiatus that reached back to my twenties. I had started cutting cabochons when I was 13 and bought my first faceting machine when I was 15, but ran out of money and time until I retired.
My great love in gemology is tourmaline and the collection presented here represents my effort to get as much beauty and variety in the colors of tourmaline as I can. I was particularly lucky in being able to get unheated cuprian tourmaline before copper was discovered in gem grade tourmaline from Mozambique.
