2.41 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Tourmaline Pair from Afghanistan

This matched pair of cushion shape yellow tourmalines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents exceptional gemological proportions and an elegant presence for a discerning buyer. The stones weigh 1.19 carats and 1.22 carats respectively, with dimensions of 6.59 x 6.11 x 4.39 mm and 6.65 x 5.99 x 4.33 mm. Each gem is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances pavilion and crown facets to maximize light return and scintillation, and the excellent polish contributes to crisp facet junctions and a lively surface finish. These are natural tourmalines originating from Afghanistan, they are unenhanced, and they display medium intense yellow color that is well saturated without appearing heavy or overly dark.

From a clarity and grading perspective these tourmalines are evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, which indicates that inclusions are minimal and do not interrupt the visual appeal under normal viewing conditions. For an educated buyer this clarity grade offers confidence that the gems will perform exceptionally in standard jewelry settings, retaining brilliance and face up transparency while also being durable for daily wear when properly set. The medium intense color intensity is particularly desirable for yellow tourmaline because it conveys warmth and presence without compromising tone, and the mixed brilliant cut coupled with the excellent polish enhances color dispersion and light return. The lack of enhancement is an important value differentiator, as untreated natural color from a notable source such as Afghanistan is increasingly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs.

Condition is a critical value component and these stones are in pristine condition, free from surface abrasions and with well executed facets that show no signs of re-polishing or repair. Pristine condition preserves weight and optical performance, and simplifies setting in fine jewelry since minimal adjustment is required. As a matched pair their closely balanced weights and complementary sizes make them ideal for a refined two stone ring, a pair of bespoke earrings, or a paired pendant design, and they will deliver symmetry in both color and light performance. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the provenance and description of these tourmalines, and we welcome inquiries from buyers who require additional photographic angles or gemological documentation to support acquisition decisions.
