9.96 Ct. Rubellite Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A timeless treasure from the storied gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this pinkish red rubellite tourmaline invites both admiration and contemplation, a stone that carries the weight of centuries of human fascination with color and rarity. We present a beautiful, transparent, 9.96 carat cushion shape rubellite tourmaline, measuring 14.24 by 12.34 by 8.74 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that maximizes fire and scintillation, with an excellent polish that speaks to masterful lapidary work. The gem displays vivid color intensity that captures the eye, and its clarity is graded as slightly included when viewed at eye level, a testament to its natural character and authenticity. This gem has been heat treated, a customary enhancement used to gently refine color and stability, and it remains a pristine example of classic gem cutting and material quality that resonates with those who value heritage and lasting elegance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize provenance and craftsmanship, offering this rubellite as a piece that merges classical beauty with the geological richness of Ceylon, a region renowned for producing some of the world s most desirable colored gemstones.

As an investment, this rubellite tourmaline occupies a compelling position, combining size, color, origin and cut in a single offering, factors that historically contribute to appreciation in value over time. Large, vivid rubellites above nine carats are increasingly scarce in the market, especially those with transparent clarity and a cushion shape that lends itself to both period and contemporary settings. Collectors and investors have shown a growing appetite for fine colored gemstones as alternative assets, driven by supply constraints in classic sources, rising global demand for unique luxury items, and a renewed interest in heirloom quality pieces that transcend fleeting trends. The mixed brilliant cut enhances return of light and brilliancy, making the stone visually more desirable in jewelry as well as for collectors, which supports long term value retention. While no investment is without risk, owning a rare, well provenanced natural rubellite from Ceylon, presented transparently as heat treated and expertly finished, aligns with strategies that favor tangible, portable assets with aesthetic and historical appeal. For connoisseurs seeking a piece that combines legacy, beauty and investment potential, The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to consider this exceptional rubellite as a centerpiece for a collection or an heirloom that may strengthen in value over generations.
