2.59 Ct. Paraiba Tourmaline from Mozambique

This 2.59 carat pear shape green Paraiba tourmaline from Mozambique presents a rare combination of transparency, refined cutting, and natural character, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. The stone measures 10.79 by 8.37 by 5.27 millimeters, is finished in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize light performance, and has an excellent polish that gives lively scintillation across the pavilion and crown. Color intensity is medium light, producing a fresh, leaf green tone that shows subtle blue leaning in certain light angles, consistent with copper influenced Paraiba material. No enhancement has been applied, which enhances its appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who value untreated provenance.

What sets this piece apart is its signature inclusion pattern, which serves as a fingerprint of natural formation and origin. At eye level the clarity is graded slightly included, and those inclusions are not flaws to hide, but features that give the gem character and verifiable naturality. Thin, linear growth tubes and fine needle like crystals run parallel in the pavilion and crown, producing delicate internal striations that interact with facets to create a silky, chatoyant shimmer when the stone moves. There are also discrete healed fissures and tiny reflective platelets that flash golden to coppery under strong light, an effect often correlated with copper and manganese trace elements in Paraiba tourmalines. These internal features aid gemological verification, as the pattern and orientation are consistent with Mozambique Paraibas and differ from laboratory synthetic patterns and from common fracture filling signatures. For an educated buyer, these inclusions confirm natural origin and no enhancement, and they contribute to the gem s optical depth, giving the color a living quality rather than a flat saturation.

From a practical and investment perspective this gem s slightly included grade and excellent polish make it ideal for a fine custom setting where the pear shape will accentuate the color range and brilliance. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the natural, unenhanced origin and the documented Mozambique provenance, and we can provide additional gemological reporting on request. For a collector who values traceable origin, natural color, and the unmistakable signature of authentic Paraiba inclusions, this 2.59 carat pear green tourmaline is a distinctive and compelling choice.
