1.03 Ct. Tourmaline from Madagascar

This 1.03 carat oval bluish green tourmaline presents precise proportions, measuring 6.78 millimeters, 6.05 millimeters, and 4.25 millimeters, and displays the controlled geometry expected from a mixed brilliant cut. The mixed brilliant combines a full brilliant crown with a modified pavilion, integrating triangular and kite facets on the crown with elongated step facets on the lower half to optimize both scintillation and depth of color. Facet junctions are sharply defined and facet symmetry is tightly controlled, producing consistent light return across the table and minimizing windowing. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which in this transparent material translates to inclusions that do not interrupt the visual plane, preserving the stone his full transparency and allowing the interior to interact freely with incident light. The polish is excellent, evidenced by mirror sharp facet surfaces and crisp facet intersections, which enhances spectral separation on off angles and preserves the integrity of reflection and refraction from crown to pavilion. Origin is Madagascar, and the piece is entirely natural with no enhancement, assuring the trace element balance responsible for the bluish green hue is native to the crystal lattice.

The dark color intensity is substantial and consistent, delivering a saturated bluish green that reads uniformly through the oval outline while still permitting subtle pleochroic variation on tilt, a characteristic behavior in tourmaline that adds liveliness during wear. The mixed brilliant faceting scheme is intentionally selected to reconcile color depth with optical performance, allowing the pavilion steps to add apparent depth while the brilliant crown maximizes sparkle in ambient light. The overall flawless quality of execution means that from every viewing angle the stone reveals a harmonious relationship between color saturation, internal clarity, and facet architecture, producing a balance of brilliance and color saturation rather than favoring one at the expense of the other. Unenhanced origin, excellent polish, and meticulous cutting translate to a gem that behaves predictably in setting, offering reliable light return, minimal risk of window or dead zones, and pronounced eye appeal. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this Madagascar tourmaline as a premium center stone choice for collectors and designers who require technical refinement, robust natural color, and uncompromised craftsmanship.
