20x18 mm. Big Brilliant Oval Portuguese Cut Paraiba Blue Tourmaline Loose Gem

I love the color and the cut, and I'm looking forward to finding a setting to put it in. However it is NOT Paraiba blue but rather a darker blue exactly as pictured. Paraiba is very bright turquoise blue and costs many many thousands of dollars for a stone this size. That said, I am supremely pleased with my $28 purchase.

The gem was absolutely fabulous!!!
