1.55 Ct. Green Tourmaline from Brazil

This listing presents a transparent 1.55 carat cushion shape green tourmaline from Brazil, precisely measured at 11.11 x 5.38 x 3.05 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance depth of color with scintillation, clarity evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, color intensity described as intense, polish graded excellent, enhancement by heat treatment. The gem exhibits a clear, saturated green with a balanced medium to medium deep tone that allows internal light return without appearing overly dark, the mixed brilliant facets create controlled flashes and a consistent face up appearance, the transparency and cut proportions allow the green to read vividly across typical jewelry settings, the very very slight inclusions do not detract from overall eye cleanliness under normal viewing conditions. The Natural Gemstone Company affirms origin Brazil and notes the heat treatment as a standard enhancement used to stabilize and intensify natural color, inspection under standard lighting shows an even distribution of saturation and good pavilion symmetry that supports both solitaire and multi stone mounting choices.

In hue and tone the specimen contrasts with several well known green gem types and localities, compared to Paraiba style tourmaline from Brazilian or Mozambican sources which often present an electric neon blue green, this stone is distinctly more classic green with a cooler neutral to slightly warm balance rather than neon. Against East African tsavorite garnet, known for its vivid bluish green and higher refractive sparkle, the present tourmaline shows a softer, more resinous green with greater depth and less brilliance. Compared to Colombian emeralds which frequently show a slightly bluish overtone and characteristic oiliness, this tourmaline is cleaner and more transparent with a purer green that lacks the typical emerald inclusions. When set alongside chrome tourmaline from Tanzania the color family aligns closely, though the Brazilian piece here trends toward consistent intense green rather than the greener yellow biased tones sometimes seen in other localities. These comparisons underline the gem has a stable and familiar green that sits comfortably among notable green gemstones while retaining the distinct optical and material qualities of Brazilian tourmaline.
