1.39 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the hush between dusk and dawn, a single oval green tourmaline rests like a secret gathered from a Ceylon forest, a transparent heart weighing 1.39 carats, dimensions 8.28 by 6.72 by 3.88 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to catch and scatter light like whispered promises. Its medium color intensity is neither loud nor shy, it is the refined green of moss after rain, with an excellent polish that makes each facet sing. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, this gem offers the clarity of a private devotion, a reassurance that beauty need not be perfect to be profound. Untreated and without enhancement, its origin in Sri Lanka brings the romance of old trade routes and island sun, and when paired with a soft white opal, White Opal, the composition becomes a love letter in stone, the cool green paired with opalescent fire for a duet of earth and light. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this tourmaline as an invitation to wear something storied and sincere, a piece that feels handcrafted by time itself.

Consider how this green tourmaline converses with the great gems of history, not to mimic their fame, but to place itself in that lineage of wonder. It carries the forested depth of the Mughal emeralds, yet it shimmers with the approachable brilliance of the famed Kashmir sapphires, and like the Hope Diamond, it holds an aura that draws the eye and the heart, though in a softer, greener tone. Its mixed brilliant cut creates a play of light reminiscent of ancient crown jewels, while its compact 1.39 carat weight makes it intimate enough for an engagement ring, yet bold enough to anchor a pendant. Unlike many stones that have been treated for color, this tourmaline is pure in origin and intent, a natural testament to rarity. Allow The Natural Gemstone Company to guide you in pairing this gem with White Opal for a setting that feels like moonlight over a forest glade, a promise that will age gracefully, a story that begins now.
