I want a more unusual shape in green Tourmaline than emerald cut ?

It’s not an accident or whim that you usually see green tourmaline in the rectangular emerald cut. Each gemstone behaves differently in light. Most green tourmaline when cut in other than the rectangular emerald cut reacts by adding unattractive yellows and browns to the green. The emerald cut has very steep ends on the bottom which prevent the unattractive secondary color from showing. Gems aren’t like fabric – we can’t just cut any shape we want to!
