11.06 Ct. Rubellite Tourmaline from Mozambique

The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents an exquisite transparent rubellite tourmaline, meticulously cut into a pear shape that enhances its inherent allure. Weighing an impressive 11.06 carats, this gemstone stands as a testament to the delicate yet fiery synthesis of the earth's finest minerals. With dimensions of 17.34 x 12.54 x 8.87 mm, it showcases a considerable size that echoes its remarkable presence. The mixed brilliant cut further elevates its brilliance, employing a combination of facets that optimize the stone's natural refraction of light. This design choice ensures that whether in dimly lit environments or under the illumination of natural sunlight, the rubellite exudes an entrancing specter of colors that dance across its surface.

This rubellite's color grading is particularly notable, exhibiting an intense hue that leans towards pinkish red, a characteristic that is both rare and deeply sought after in tourmalines. The intense color intensity is one of its defining attributes, ensuring that the vibrancy remains undiminished even in subdued lighting. When placed under halogen spots or beneath the canopy of an overcast sky, the gemstone maintains its vividness, proving its steadfast quality and allure despite varying lighting conditions. Its appeal is not bound solely by its coloration but also by its clarity. Graded as eye clean, the gem presents a flawless view when evaluated at eye level. This clarity ensures that its surface is unmarred by inclusions that might distract the observer from its natural beauty.

Moreover, the rubellite tourmaline's polished finish receives an excellent grade, reflecting quality craftsmanship. The skilled artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company dedicate hours to the meticulous polishing process, ensuring that each facet achieves a mirror-like finish. Consequently, the gemstone mirrors any light that graces its surface, casting a captivating array of reflections. This excellent polish plays a critical role in how the rubellite's color is perceived, enhancing depth and promoting a luster that is both sophisticated and eye-catching. Under artificial incandescent lighting, the gemstone's luster becomes warm and enveloping, creating an inviting effect that is both soothing and elegant. Conversely, under cooler LED lights, the rubellite projects clarity and briskness, underscoring the gem’s versatility.

Originating from the prestigious mines in Mozambique, this rubellite tourmaline carries the heritage and geological richness of the region known for world-class gemstones. Such a provenance adds a layer of historical and natural authenticity, aligning perfectly with The Natural Gemstone Company's commitment to sourcing ethically and providing clients with genuine jewels of provenance. This connection to origin informs not only the physical beauty of the rubellite but also the story it tells, creating a narrative that adds value and sentimental appeal.
