0.60 Ct. Tourmaline from Africa

This exquisite transparent yellowish green tourmaline, weighing 0.60 carat, is a study in natural refinement and understated glamour. Precisely measured at 5.18 by 5.19 by 3.36 millimeters, its round outline is a near perfect circle, a geometry that invites both classical restraint and contemporary imagination. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to exacting standards, balancing a pavilion that returns lively scintillation with a crown that offers measured fire, while an excellent polish allows each facet to sing. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is very very slightly included, an assurance that the gem reads as clean to the eye while retaining the organic story that only a natural stone can tell. The medium light color intensity of the yellowish green hue is at once fresh and elegant, lending itself to both vivid contrasts and subtle harmonies, and the fact that this tourmaline is wholly untreated, with no enhancement, makes it a rare offering of authentic origin. Sourced from Africa, this gem carries a provenance that connoisseurs value, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it as a jewel ready to be transformed into a bespoke masterpiece.

For designers and collectors seeking the perfect blank canvas, this tourmaline's size and shape are supremely advantageous, an ideal middle ground that functions equally well as a luminous centre stone or as an elevated accent. At approximately 5.18 by 5.19 millimeters and a weight of 0.60 carat, it presents a balanced visual presence on the finger without overpowering, offering the kind of proportional elegance that translates effortlessly into engagement rings, signet style pieces, solitaire pendants, or a pair of refined stud earrings. The round shape is universally flattering and simplifies the technical collaboration between gem and setting, ensuring symmetry in prong work and ease of bezel or tension mounting for those seeking a modern silhouette. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies brilliance while maintaining depth and color, which is particularly valuable when the jeweler intends to pair the gem with pavé diamonds or a halo, as the contrast will lift both color and apparent size. Designers will appreciate the gem's excellent polish, which reduces friction during setting and preserves the clean lines that bespoke creations depend upon.

Owning this tourmaline is not merely acquiring a stone, it is commissioning a narrative that speaks to heritage, taste, and integrity. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the gem's ethical sourcing from Africa, and this piece is offered with the kind of documentation and care that discerning clients expect. Because the tourmaline is natural and unenhanced, its color and clarity are intrinsic qualities to be celebrated, and our team can advise on settings that either underscore its freshness with warm yellow metal or dramatize it with cool platinum or white gold. For protective longevity, bezel settings provide secure edges and a modern profile, while four or six prongs maximize light return for those who prioritize brilliance, and a halo of fine diamonds will dramatize the stone's presence while offering an elevated sense of exclusivity. We recommend routine inspection by a master jeweler following mounting, and gentle daily care that avoids harsh chemicals and extreme knocks, ensuring that the stone will remain a centerpiece in a collection for generations. If you are imagining a piece that will mark an achievement, commemorate a milestone, or simply express an elevated aesthetic, allow The Natural Gemstone Company to guide you through the bespoke process, combining this exceptional African tourmaline with the craftsmanship and vision that will turn a rare gem into an heirloom of unmistakable distinction.
