I am wearing the ring I just made a Blue Tourmaline1 Fabulous 7 x 5
mm octagon shape

that is straight from the invoice

tourmaline and tanzanite are just not the same thing.

tanzanite is the periwinkle stone

btw i asked my mother what she thought of my ring, she said it is a
gorgeous blue

tanzanite means 'from country of tanzania"

tourmaline means 'many colored pebble'
the tourmaline I have is also called indicolite for indigo which is
the dark blue dye and ink from last centuries'

if you call it indicolite, it is worth more
