Comments:
───────
Known in the trade as "Bi-colored tourmaline". Tourmaline is commonly heated or irradiated to improve or change the color. Color authenticity is currently undeterminable.
● GIANT SIZE PHENOMENON: At 12.21 carats this occupies museum-grade territory—most parti-colored tourmalines under 5 carats as larger rough yielding distinct color zones and transparency exponentially rarer making specimens exceeding 12 carats highly coveted by institutions and collectors.
● PARTI-COLORED PRESTIGE: Professional gemological classification commanding higher market recognition than informal "bi-colored" trade name—green and yellow combination represents highly desirable spring palette in international collector markets commanding premium pricing.
● SPRING PALETTE APPEAL: Green-yellow combination evokes nature's renewal and vitality—this fresh color pairing offers versatile appeal commanding strong preference from collectors seeking unique specimens that capture seasonal beauty in crystalline form.
● OCTAGONAL SOPHISTICATION: Step cut octagonal shape creates elegant emerald-cut aesthetic—sophisticated cutting maximizes parti-color display with both zones visible simultaneously while 14.83mm dimensions provide substantial presence perfect for statement jewelry.
● UNIQUE IDENTITY: No two parti-colored tourmalines possess identical zoning patterns—this specimen's specific green-to-yellow transition completely one-of-a-kind making it genuinely irreplaceable with documented ICA certification ensuring authenticity and investment value.
● TREATMENT TRANSPARENCY: Heat treatment and irradiation standard practices in tourmaline trade to optimize color—enhancement is permanent, stable, and universally accepted with treated parti-colored specimens commanding strong prices due to underlying rarity.
● BRAZILIAN QUALITY: Premium parti-colored specimens from legendary Minas Gerais deposits—these sources produce finest multi-color tourmalines with sharp boundaries and intense saturation commanding strong market recognition internationally.
● INVESTMENT STRENGTH: Large parti-colored tourmalines demonstrate consistent appreciation—as sources for giant specimens deplete and collector awareness grows, premium parti-colored tourmalines positioned perfectly for continued value appreciation in international markets.
Clarification on "See Comments":

● This does NOT mean the stone is definitively treated—rather, it reflects current limitations of available testing technology.
● We provide complete transparency and competitive pricing for informed purchasing decisions.
