From the green hills of Mozambique to the calm of the lapidary bench, these two emerald cut tourmalines carry a story of geological patience and human craft. Born in pegmatite veins where slow cooling allowed color to develop, each stone was selected for transparency and its yellowish green hue, evaluated at medium intense color intensity. The pair weighs 1.38 carats and 1.56 carats respectively, and measures 8.42 x 5.54 x 3.89 mm for the smaller gem, and 8.29 x 5.55 x 4.41 mm for the larger gem, both receiving an emerald cut that emphasizes linear facets and clean table windows. At eye level the clarity is graded slightly included, which gives them natural character while maintaining excellent light flow. Heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and enhance their color, and an excellent polish brings out a crisp facet finish that makes each table and step reflect with lively clarity. As you imagine these stones leaving the mine and passing through skilled hands, picture the cutter studying crystal orientation to reduce strain and open up that fresh, green fire that is so appealing.
Beyond their provenance and beauty these tourmalines are built to be enjoyed, and to be worn. Tourmaline has a toughness and a hardness around seven to seven and a half on the Mohs scale, which makes these gems suitable for daily wear jewelry when set thoughtfully. An emerald cut set in a bezel or a well protected prong setting will guard the corners and help prevent wear from impacts, and routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water will keep the polish bright without risking the heat treatment. Slight inclusions are part of their natural story and do not detract from longevity, provided ordinary precautions are taken when handling and storing. If you are seeking a pair of stones that combine an earthy origin story with a refined, wearable cut, these Mozambique tourmalines are a compelling choice. The Natural Gemstone Company presents them as an opportunity to wear a mineral narrative that endures, a small piece of deep time polished and set for your everyday moments.
