2.00 Ct. Paraiba Tourmaline from Mozambique

This exceptional GIA certified greenish blue Paraiba tourmaline offered by The Natural Gemstone Company weighs 2.00 carats, and measures 10.96 x 6.63 x 4.94 mm. The gem is cut to a refined pear shape with a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, and the finish is described as excellent polish. The GIA report provides objective assurance of identity and quality, confirming that this stone is natural, originates from Mozambique, and has received no enhancement. For an educated buyer, these verified attributes are central to both aesthetic appreciation and lasting value, because provenance and treatment disclosure materially affect rarity and market desirability.

From a gemological perspective the most compelling feature of this piece is its combination of color intensity and optical clarity, and the way those properties interact with the mixed brilliant cut to produce uniform scintillation. The color is graded as medium intense, a sweet spot for Paraiba tourmaline that balances strong saturation with lively transparency, and the greenish blue hue is indicative of the copper and trace manganese chemistry that distinguishes Paraiba material. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in practical terms means the stone presents as essentially eye clean. Under normal viewing conditions the inclusions are minute and do not interfere with light performance, so to a viewer the surface and internal planes read as visually flawless. The excellent polish and precise facet junctions enhance this visual effect by eliminating surface haze and allowing maximum transmission of light through the pavilion and crown, so every facet boundary becomes a controlled pathway for brilliance and flash.

The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to optimize both color and sparkle, and the pear silhouette offers a versatile orientation for jewelry design while emphasizing the gems central flash. The brilliant style facets on the crown return lively white light, while the step like and brilliant facets on the pavilion create a blend of scintillation and depth, which gives the gem a three dimensional presence when rotated. Because the stone is effectively eye clean the viewer perceives uninterrupted color and light refraction across the entire table and along the shoulders of the pear, producing an impression of flawless quality from every angle. This apparent flawlessness is a product of intrinsic clarity, skilled cutting, and superior polish, and it is especially valuable in turquoise to teal Paraiba tourmalines because the color and copper induced luminescence are best experienced without visual distractions.

For the discerning collector or jeweler, the combination of GIA certification, a natural untreated origin from Mozambique, medium intense coloration, and an eye clean presentation makes this Paraiba tourmaline an investment grade specimen. Mozambique sources are renowned for producing some of the most vivid copper bearing tourmalines outside of the original Brazilian finds, and the absence of enhancement preserves both the gemological integrity and resale desirability. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize documented provenance and exacting standards of cut and finish, because educated buyers value stones that perform under loupe, under the hand, and under the light. This pear shape will sit elegantly in a custom ring or pendant, where its streamlined form will concentrate color at the tip and allow the crown facets to broadcast brilliance across the face. With modest routine care such as avoiding harsh chemicals and high heat, this Paraiba tourmaline will retain its visual impact and market value for generations, making it suitable both as a wearable statement piece and as a collectible asset for a sophisticated gemstone portfolio.
