1.37 Ct. Tourmaline from Africa

This transparent 1.37 carat cushion shape pink tourmaline from Africa is a rare combination of intense color and refined craftsmanship, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. Measuring 8.42 by 6.12 by 3.94 millimeters, this gem has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that brings out deep life in the pavilion while preserving a broad, luminous table. Its color intensity is classified as intense, giving a saturated pink that reads rich and elegant in natural light, and its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem shows remarkable transparency without obvious distractions. The polish is excellent, so each facet reflects light crisply and the stone displays strong scintillation when moved. Perhaps most important to discerning buyers, this tourmaline has received no enhancement, so you are seeing the natural color and condition from the African locale where it was sourced. In short, this is a gem that balances presence and refinement, perfect for someone who prefers a vivid color with the authenticity of an untreated natural stone.

When you compare this pink tourmaline to other options on the market, the advantages become clear. Compared with pink sapphires, which often command a premium and are commonly heat treated to intensify color, this tourmaline offers similar visual impact at a more accessible price point while remaining untreated. Compared with morganite, which can appear more pastel and may require additives to reach certain tones, the intense chroma of this tourmaline makes it stand out as a bolder, more statement oriented pink. Against the common influx of lab created or heavily treated stones, an untreated African tourmaline from The Natural Gemstone Company holds distinctive value because of its natural color origin and documented lack of enhancement. The cushion shape with a mixed brilliant cut also confers optical advantages compared with standard step cuts or shallow ovals, because the brilliant facets maximize sparkle and mask small inclusions, allowing the eye to focus on the gem color and brilliance rather than on internal features. The very slightly included clarity graded at eye level is an advantage for buyers who want a balance between clean appearance and natural character, as microscopic inclusions often act as fingerprints that guarantee each piece is unique.

For the buyer who seeks a striking gift that will be remembered, this pink tourmaline makes an exceptional choice. Its intense pink hue reads as romantic and contemporary at the same time, which makes it suitable for engagement rings where a non traditional color is desired, anniversary pieces that celebrate enduring affection, or a special pendant to mark a milestone. The cushion shape is timeless and adapts beautifully to both classic four prong and halo settings, where the rich center color can be accentuated by a rim of small white diamonds or left solo for a clean modern statement. Because the stone is untreated, its story is immediate and authentic, which adds emotional weight when presenting it to someone special. A gem that comes from Africa and arrives to your recipient as a natural treasure resonates in a way that synthetic or heavily modified stones cannot easily match. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can also advise on recommended settings, mounting metal choices, and care tips so the stone continues to look its best for years.

Choosing this 1.37 carat cushion pink tourmaline is an investment in both beauty and individuality, and it communicates thoughtfulness in a manner that typical off the shelf jewelry cannot. For purchasers who value transparency and provenance, the lack of enhancement and African origin are distinguishing attributes that increase the gem value beyond its visible beauty. The balance of intense color, excellent polish, and a well proportioned mixed brilliant cut means that this tourmaline will wear with presence while maintaining comfort for everyday or occasional use.
