This gemstone was cut by a brilliant master, one who truly understood along which axes the two colors of this tourmaline would reveal themselves most vividly and completely. Remarkably, the usual property of tourmaline—pleochroism—seems to manifest here as if it were a true, almost magical transformation of color. Strictly speaking, the stone does not possess this quality in its natural state.
Its vivid hues and the artistry of its cut have turned it into a true chameleon. I turn the gem between my fingers, and every time I am enchanted by the play of colors as they shift before my eyes.
I believe I must wait for genuine inspiration and for the vivid, sensuous vision of the jewel in which this tourmaline will be set. This feels like a new level in the perception of a gemstone’s beauty.
