The inclusions in this tourmaline are not flaws to hide, they are unique identifiers that add depth and character to the stone and confirm its natural origin. You will notice fine needle like growth features, tiny fluid inclusions and delicate feather patterns that catch light within the pavilion, creating subtle internal reflections that enrich the stone rather than detract from it. These internal signatures act like a fingerprint, making this particular tourmaline unmistakably individual, and they help gemologists trace the stone back to its Ceylon provenance.

A warm yellow gold bezel or prong will enhance the brownish green warmth, rose gold will bring a contemporary softness, and platinum will offer a striking contrast for a modern solitaire.
