0.89 Ct. Tourmaline from Tanzania

This transparent 0.89 carat oval shape pinkish brown tourmaline from Tanzania exhibits precise proportions and careful lapidary work, suitable for discerning collectors and high end jewelers. The dimensions are 6.29 x 5.32 x 3.84 mm, producing a depth of approximately 66.2 percent relative to average diameter, a slightly deep profile that enhances face up color without sacrificing light return. The stone is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut with a brilliant style crown combined with a modified pavilion, a faceting strategy that concentrates scintillation while preserving even color distribution across the table. Clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, indicating only minute internal features that do not interfere with transparency, and the polish is graded excellent, delivering crisp facet junctions and strong facet contrast. No enhancement has been applied, the gem is completely natural, and the Tanzanian origin contributes documented provenance.

In the current market this combination of attributes is rare, the near nine tenths carat weight sits at a threshold where similar pinkish brown hues are usually seen either at smaller sizes or in more brown dominated material that lacks transparency, making this specimen uncommon among tourmalines of comparable color and clarity. The medium color intensity provides a desirable balance between delicate pink presence and warm brown nuance, and the slightly deeper proportion intensifies the tone without producing an overly dark face up appearance, a nuance that experienced buyers will recognize. For settings the mixed brilliant cut maximizes face up brightness, making the gem particularly well suited to solitaire rings and elegant pendants where the subtleties of pinkish brown pleochroism can be appreciated. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this untreated Tanzanian tourmaline as a specialist piece for connoisseurs seeking a technically refined, naturally colored gemstone that stands out by virtue of its proportion, cut intent, and scarcity in this specific size and hue range.
