1.41 Ct. Tourmaline from Mozambique

From the mineral rich soils of Mozambique to the quiet bench of an experienced cutter, this yellowish green tourmaline tells a story of time, pressure, and care. Born deep within pegmatitic pockets where slow cooling concentrates rare elements, this crystal grew under conditions that allow transparency and clarity to flourish. The green that you see is a conversation between trace elements and light, a subtle dialogue that favours yellowish green hues in this region. Artisans who work with Mozambican material often speak of parcels that yield stones with exceptional life and character, and this particular gem has emerged from that tradition with a clear personality. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present a single transparent 1.41 carat emerald cut tourmaline that carries the landscape of its origin, a weight and presence that reflect both geological fortune and careful selection.

The transformation from rough to the refined emerald cut is where technical skill meets aesthetic decision making. At 7.71 by 5.59 by 3.64 mm this stone was shaped to maximize its step cut elegance and to honour the internal clarity that the rough offered. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, the cutter chose an emerald cut to emphasize linear brilliance, broad flashes of colour, and a window into the gem that rewards close inspection. The 1.41 carat weight is pivotal, it elevates the stone into a category that is both rare and desirable for tourmaline, because weight in this range is less common for clean, transparent material with medium intense colour intensity. No enhancement has been applied, so the colour, clarity, and weight are authentic expressions of the stone itself, a natural statement preserved by careful lapidary technique.

Weight is more than a number, it is a measure of rarity and visual presence, and in the case of this tourmaline it translates directly into value and design possibilities. At 1.41 carat the stone sits at a threshold where a jewellery piece can still feel refined and comfortable, while delivering a substantial table and depth that command attention. Jewelers and collectors prize such weights because they allow for balanced proportions in rings and pendants, and they provide a meaningful centre without resorting to oversized settings that can overwhelm a design. The medium intense colour intensity of this yellowish green hue works harmoniously with an emerald cut, allowing the step facets to show broad planes of colour and to reveal the very very slightly included clarity in a way that reassures rather than distracts. Because the gem is untreated, its weight contributes to long term desirability, collectors appreciate natural stones of this class from Mozambique, and designers find that the mass of 1.41 carat provides a strong visual anchor that wears elegantly.

When you imagine this tourmaline set for daily wear or for an heirloom commission, think of how its mass and cut will interact with light and form. The emerald cut produces a calm, architectural look, and the stone’s dimensions give a comfortable face up size that reads larger than its weight might suggest at first glance. In a classic four prong or low bezel setting the 1.41 carat weight ensures the stone sits prominently, catching light across its well polished facets. For a pendant, the depth of 3.64 mm gives the stone a three dimensional presence that is delightful in motion, while still keeping the overall silhouette slim and elegant. The natural, unenhanced origin from Mozambique adds provenance that complements the tactile impression of weight, collectors and wearers alike often remark that stones with this combination of weight, clarity, and natural colour have a presence that feels honest and grounded.
