1.50 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite 1.50 carat oval green tourmaline from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a standout choice for the discerning collector, offering a balance of beauty, provenance, and investment value that outperforms many market alternatives. Measuring 8.81 by 6.61 by 3.90 millimeters, the gem has been cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize light return and scintillation, and it shows a medium intense green that reads as richly saturated without tipping into overly dark tones. The stone is transparent and graded eye clean when viewed at eye level, a clarity characteristic that is relatively rare in natural tourmalines at this size and that places it above many commercially available examples that require tumbling or clarity enhancement. No enhancement has been applied, which together with its Sri Lankan origin makes this piece more desirable than heat treated or fracture filled stones that dominate lower price tiers. The excellent polish and precise faceting produce lively flashes across the table and pavilion, while the classic oval shape and neat proportions ensure it will set beautifully in bespoke rings, pendants, or collector trays. Opal type White Opal.

Compared to green gemstones such as emerald, tsavorite, or peridot, this Ceylon tourmaline offers remarkable value for collectors seeking a vivid green that combines durability with eye appeal. Unlike many emeralds that require oiling or other clarity treatments, this tourmaline is fully natural and untreated, delivering a cleaner appearance without post mining alteration. Against synthetic alternatives, its natural origin and trace element fingerprint from Sri Lanka provide provenance and rarity that matter to serious collectors and high end designers. At 1.50 carats the gem is versatile for both intimate settings and statement pieces, and pairing it with a white opal can create a striking contrast between the deep green and the opal’s milky play of color, enhancing both stones. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this stone as a refinement grade specimen, suitable for a curated collection that values uncompromising quality, honest disclosure, and gemstones that retain and grow in desirability over time.
