1.16 Ct. Green Paraiba Tourmaline from Mozambique

If you are searching for a singular center stone that ends a long quest for rarity and beauty, this green Paraiba tourmaline from Mozambique answers that call. This transparent 1.16 carat pear shape gem measures 10.28 x 6.59 x 2.88 mm, and is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color face up. Its clarity is graded included when viewed at eye level, its color intensity is medium, and its polish is excellent. Importantly, there has been no enhancement to alter its natural state, so what you see is the genuine material as it was formed. For an engagement ring or a collector seeking an uncommon specimen, the graceful pear silhouette offers elegance and versatility, and its size and proportions translate beautifully on the finger, making it a confident centerpiece for a custom setting.

Compared with more common gemstones, this Mozambique Paraiba stands apart because of its luminous green that often seems to glow from within, a characteristic driven by trace elements that give Paraiba tourmalines their signature neon character. Diamonds display strong white brilliance, and sapphires and emeralds are prized for saturated hues, yet this gem offers a rare combination of lively internal glow and distinct color that catches the eye in a way that many conventional stones do not. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return and scintillation without sacrificing the gem face color, so while it may not flash exactly like a diamond, it presents a living, watery brilliance and color play that feels more organic and arresting. For collectors who appreciate provenance, The Natural Gemstone Company provides this Mozambique origin gem as an untreated example of Paraiba rarity, offering transparency and assurance of natural quality. If your goal is to secure an intimate, memorable center stone that announces itself through unique color and refined sparkle, this green Paraiba tourmaline is the perfect solution.
