0.83 Ct. Green Chrome Tourmaline from Africa

This listing describes a single, transparent green chrome tourmaline weighing 0.83 carat. The weight of 0.83 carat positions this specimen within the premium range for green chrome tourmalines, offering a balance between visual presence and wearability. In terms of practical perception, the 0.83 carat weight delivers a noticeable presence in most jewelry settings, while retaining the refined scale preferred for elegant designs. The precise carat measurement is an expression of the gem material itself, not a composite or assembled weight, and it is an important determinant of value when combined with the stone quality factors described below. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem as a single, quality assessed piece, with emphasis on its genuine, unenhanced character.

The stone is cut in an oval shape, measuring 6.49 x 5.25 x 3.87 mm, and it has been faceted using a mixed brilliant cut. The dimensions provide a length to width ratio that preserves classic oval proportions and a depth proportion of approximately 66 percent, which supports efficient light return. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not materially detract from the gem s overall visual appeal at normal viewing distances. Color intensity is described as intense, rendering a lively, saturated green that is characteristic of chrome tourmaline from African sources. The polish is excellent, providing smooth facet junctions and clean surfaces that enhance brilliance. The stone has not been subjected to any enhancement, confirming that the observed color and clarity are natural. Origin is Africa, and the combination of origin, color intensity, and lack of enhancement contributes to the stone s premium classification.

Cut quality and proportions are important contributors to the performance of this 0.83 carat chrome tourmaline. The mixed brilliant cut integrates a faceted crown and pavilion scheme that emphasizes both scintillation and controlled light dispersion. In this specimen the cutting preserves weight while optimizing optical performance, yielding a lively face up appearance for a gem of this scale. The oval outline offers versatility in jewelry design and can be set to emphasize length for finger elongation effects or centered for symmetrical ring heads. At 6.49 mm in length and 5.25 mm in width, the gem translates the 0.83 carat weight into a tangible size that reads larger than similar round stones of equal carat weight due to the elongated surface area. The depth of 3.87 mm contributes to a balanced profile, supporting secure bezel or prong settings while maintaining favorable light behavior. These measurable attributes, combined with the intense green hue and very slightly included clarity, underpin the stone s premium standing among natural chrome tourmalines.

The unenhanced nature and clear documentation of attributes make this 0.83 carat oval green chrome tourmaline suitable for collectors, designers, and connoisseurs seeking natural color and good material integrity. Because the stone is free of treatments, it can be appreciated on its own merits and integrated into fine jewelry with confidence that the color will remain stable under normal conditions. Recommended settings include four or six prong styles that protect the elongation radius, and low profile bezels when additional security is preferred. Care instructions remain standard for tourmaline family gems, emphasizing avoidance of sudden thermal shock and harsh chemical exposure, and recommending periodic cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush. The Natural Gemstone Company can provide further guidance on setting dimensions and mounting preferences to accommodate the exact measurements of 6.49 x 5.25 x 3.87 mm and to preserve the integrity of this 0.83 carat premium chrome tourmaline.
