This 1.76 carat oval rubellite tourmaline from The Natural Gemstone Company combines precise proportions and honest, detailed grading to appeal to the educated buyer. The gem measures 9.27 x 6.83 x 4.06 mm, is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to balance table sparkle with depth of color, and presents transparent body color with vivid color intensity. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means small natural inclusions are present but do not detract from overall brilliance or durability. The polish is excellent, and the stone is reported untreated, no enhancement, a critical attribute that preserves natural color and value.
From a technical perspective the mixed brilliant cut enhances return of light while maintaining an elegant oval outline that suits fine jewelry settings. Slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicates the inclusions are visible under careful inspection but the gem retains strong transparency and lively face up appearance, important factors for both aesthetic and investment considerations. Vivid color intensity in rubellite tourmaline is a primary determinant of price, often more influential than size alone, and this piece demonstrates saturated pinkish red tones that show well across lighting conditions because of the stone's cut and polish. The absence of heat or dye treatments enhances long term value and marketability, as untreated natural color commands a premium among collectors and connoisseurs.
The origin of this rubellite tourmaline, Brazil, further adds provenance value. Brazilian tourmalines are renowned for producing a wide range of clean, richly colored material, and a documented Brazilian origin communicates geological history and market prestige that many buyers recognize and prefer. Provenance from Brazil often implies formation in pegmatitic environments that yield stable, gem quality crystals, and an untreated Brazilian rubellite is especially sought after for both bespoke jewelry and private collections. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize transparent, fact based descriptions and provenance information to support informed purchasing decisions, and this natural Brazilian rubellite exemplifies the combination of color, cut, clarity, and origin that discerning buyers prize.
