0.98 Ct. Tourmaline from Tanzania

A rare opportunity awaits the discerning collector who seeks both natural purity and understated elegance, an exquisite transparent green tourmaline weighing 0.98 carat, oval in shape, with dimensions of 6.98 x 5.70 x 3.54 mm, light color intensity, clarity grade very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, excellent polish, no enhancement, and origin Tanzania. This is not a mass produced stone, it is a singular natural treasure, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company as part of a carefully curated selection that celebrates scarcity and provenance. The subtle, light green hue is a whisper of color rather than a shout, a tone that reads as refined and versatile, ready to be set into a piece that will speak to connoisseurs who value natural beauty and ethical sourcing. The limited nature of such material from Tanzania means that each gem in this category is almost always unique, and ownership signifies membership in a small circle of collectors who prefer authentic, untouched gemstones.

The mixed brilliant cut of this oval tourmaline is the reason why its optical performance is so compelling, this cut combines the scintillating virtues of brilliant facet geometry with the elegant symmetry of step like facets, the crown is faceted to scatter light into a lively play of scintillation, while the pavilion is shaped to control light return and to deepen the perceived body of color. The result is a precise dialogue between brilliance and depth, where flashes of white light dance across the table and crown facets, and flashes of soft green and pale honey appear within the stone as the gem moves, this alternation of spark and color brings the tourmaline to life on the finger or pendant. The oval outline enhances this effect by providing elongated facet sequences that create consecutive ribbons of light when the stone is viewed in motion, and the stone dimensions including the 3.54 mm depth have been judged by our lapidaries to balance fire, brightness, and face up size, so the gem reads larger than its carat weight might suggest while maintaining ideal optical return.

Clarity plays a subtle but important role in the character of this tourmaline, very slightly included at eye level indicates that the stone retains excellent transparency, with only minor internal features that do not detract from overall brilliance, such natural inclusions often serve as fingerprints of origin, a reassuring signature that the gem has not been artificially altered, further strengthened by the absence of any enhancement. The exceptional polish enhances facet definition, allowing each plane to act as a highly effective mirror that maximizes reflection and contrast, the precise facet junctions in the mixed brilliant design create crisp light facets that yield lively scintillation and a finely textured contrast pattern that jewelers prize when setting for close work. Sourced from Tanzania, this gem carries with it the story of place, the geological narrative of a region known for producing tourmalines of exceptional clarity and character, and for buyers who value traceable origins, this provenance elevates the piece beyond simple adornment into the realm of collectible gems.
