0.75 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singuIar treasure from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka awaits the collector who understands that true luxury is measured in provenance and authenticity. This exquisite transparent pink tourmaline weighs 0.75 carat and embraces the senses with a graceful pear silhouette, its dimensions precisely 6.92 x 5.13 x 4.00 millimeters. Cut as a mixed brilliant, this gem has been faceted to maximize scintillation and color dispersion while maintaining the elegant silhouette of a classic pear. The color reads as an intense, saturated pink that announces itself without artifice, and because it is wholly natural, without enhancement, the intensity of tone and hue is the stone itself rather than a laboratory intervention. At eye level the clarity is graded as included, which in practice adds a dimension of individuality, revealing the gem as a living object with its own internal landscape, while the excellent polish ensures every facet returns light with a crisp, luxurious finish. Curated and presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this tourmaline is a rare combination of size, color purity, untreated origin, and expert cutting, an object for those whose taste favors sincerity as much as splendor.

When one considers brilliance and the way gems engage the eye, it is tempting to reach first for diamond, that merciless standard of fire and scintillation. Diamonds do possess unparalleled dispersion and a refractive index that throws scintillation into high relief, yet they do so in the language of light rather than of color. This 0.75 carat pink tourmaline speaks in color first, and in so doing it offers a form of brilliance that is emotionally immediate and intimately luxurious. Compared to sapphire and ruby, which are dense and often deliver a deeper, velvety brilliance dictated by their higher refractive indices, this tourmaline offers a lighter, more vivacious interplay of hue and sparkle. Its mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to emphasize both table brilliance and girdle scintillation, so that small flashes of light dance across the facets while the intense pink remains steadfast and vivid. Tourmaline can also display subtle pleochroism, revealing slightly different tones as it turns, a living quality that diamonds cannot offer and that makes the stone feel animated on the finger. The result is a gem that does not compete with the clinical flash of white stones, but rather captivates through saturated color, lively movement, and the kind of polished elegance that suggests a connoisseur rather than a collector of trends.

To wear this pear shaped pink tourmaline is to make a deliberate statement about provenance and refinement. Its measurements and mixed brilliant cut make it ideally suited to an elongated solitaire setting that flatters the hand, or to a bespoke halo that contrasts delicate color with restrained brilliance. Because this specimen is untreated and hails from Ceylon Sri Lanka, it carries both a natural rarity and a narrative that resonates in private salons and at intimate gatherings, where authenticity and story matter as much as visual impact. The included clarity is not a flaw in the vernacular of luxury, but rather a hallmark of natural origin, an assurance that the gem has not been masked by filling or heat, and a mark of individuality that factory perfect stones lack. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this tourmaline as more than an accessory, it is an achievement, a quietly conspicuous emblem of taste that will age in esteem rather than fade with fashion. For the discerning buyer who desires a jewel as unique as their life, this pink tourmaline offers a rare harmony of color intensity, expert cutting, untreated origin, and tactile elegance, a small but potent affirmation of refined status and personal discernment.
