2.44 Ct. Paraiba Tourmaline from Africa

This transparent 2.44 carat cushion shape electric blue Paraiba tourmaline presents a refined balance of color and proportion, measuring 8.84 x 8.08 x 4.82 mm. The mixed brilliant cut is calibrated to maximize scintillation and light return, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet definition and an even surface sheen. Color intensity is assessed as medium light, producing a vivid electric blue that remains lively under a variety of lighting conditions. Clarity is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, reflecting natural internal characteristics that are typical for fine Paraiba tourmalines, and the stone is offered without any enhancement. Origin is Africa, adding a defined provenance for collectors and connoisseurs who value geographic sourcing.

As a gift for someone special, this Paraiba tourmaline is striking for its combination of size, natural color, and clarity, and it translates effectively into memorable jewelry pieces. The cushion outline offers classic elegance with soft corners that sit comfortably in ring and pendant settings, while the mixed brilliant faceting brings modern brilliance to the gem. Its 2.44 carat weight provides a tangible presence on the hand, and the lack of treatment affirms the gem as a natural and authentic choice, suitable for a milestone present or a meaningful personal token. The Natural Gemstone Company provides full disclosure of the stone attributes, and we recommend simple, well proportioned settings in white gold or platinum to accentuate the electric blue hue without overpowering it.
