From the rich, mineral laden soils of Mozambique these two tourmalines began their journey as hidden crystals in pegmatite veins, slowly growing over millennia under heat and pressure until they revealed their transparent, living color. Local miners guided by generations of knowledge carefully extracted the rough pieces, each fragment carrying subtle differences in tone and internal structure. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish that origin story, and we respect the quiet transformation that occurs when rough becomes gem. Heat treatment was applied with precision to stabilize and enhance the green hues, a gentle intervention that brings forward the medium color intensity you see, while preserving the natural character and clarity of each stone.
The true art begins at the cutting table, where master cutters worked to match these two gems so they could tell a single visual story as a pair. Both stones are asscher octagon shape tourmalines, cut to asscher proportions and faceting that emphasizes depth and step brilliance, with dimensions of 7.38 by 6.90 by 5.63 millimeters for the 1.97 carat stone, and 7.34 by 6.90 by 5.58 millimeters for the 2.03 carat stone. Evaluated at eye level they are very very slightly included, and each received an excellent polish that allows light to travel cleanly through every facet. Matching carat weight, near identical proportions, and consistent medium color intensity are the result of meticulous selection and patient cutting, a process that demands both technical skill and a jeweler's sensitivity to symmetry and balance.
Wearing this pair is to wear a narrative, from Mozambican pegmatite to the precision of the faceting wheel. These tourmalines are ideal as a matched pair for earrings, a duo set in a bespoke ring, or as mirror stones in a design that celebrates contrast and harmony. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the provenance and craftsmanship of these gems, and we are happy to advise on settings that protect the stones while showcasing their asscher cut geometry. Please note the stones have been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement, and with thoughtful care they will retain their clarity and brilliance for generations.
