Before you, a rare and exceedingly elegant example of nature refined by expert hands, one transparent 1.58 carat emerald cut bi color tourmaline, offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem measures 8.79 x 4.88 x 4.15 mm, it is emerald cut to reveal its linear sophistication, it carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, its color intensity is very light, and its polish is excellent. This tourmaline is completely natural, it has no enhancement, and its origin is Madagascar. The gentle bi color transition and the precise faceting combine to create a visual poetry that is quiet and assured, a piece that speaks to those who understand the rare pleasure of wearing a gemstone that has seen no alteration since it formed deep within the earth. For the collector who values provenance and authenticity, this stone presents a confident statement, a jewel that will sit with dignity in any bespoke setting.
The bi color character of this tourmaline is its soul, a soft passage from a delicate lilac through a crystalline center into a fresh green, each hue preserved by the straight, elegant lines of the emerald cut. The cut emphasizes the stone s natural zoning, and it reveals subtle pleochroic effects as it is turned in the light, a trait much admired by connoisseurs. Historically, bicolored tourmalines and similarly hued stones have been favored for their perceived ability to mirror the shifting tones of nature, they have been selected for signet pieces and intimate amulets, carried by travelers and worn by patrons of the arts. In Victorian collections, tourmaline was prized for its range of color and its capacity to be set in intricate, hand made mountings, and in many traditional settings similar stones were reserved for those who wished to display a refined taste that was both personal and discreet. Owning a stone with this lineage is to become part of a long tradition of connoisseurship and subtle display.
The provenance of this gem in Madagascar lends it a particular cachet, Madagascar being a source esteemed for tourmaline material of distinctive color and clarity. Small scale mining and skilled local cutters often bring forth stones with personality and character, stones that retain natural features rather than uniform treatments, and this tourmaline is a testament to that heritage. Being untreated, the gem allows you to trace its journey from the earth to the cut surface, the angles and lengths of the emerald facets telling a story of restraint and precision. The dimensions 8.79 x 4.88 x 4.15 mm make it an exceptionally versatile candidate for high end work, equally suited to a refined ring that rests close to the hand, or to a pendant that captures and refracts light with every turn. Its excellent polish magnifies its clarity, while the very very slightly included grade assures that the viewer sees the stone s internal character rather than distracting flaws, a quality much appreciated by jewelers and collectors alike.
This is not merely a stone available in a catalogue of many, it is a singular opportunity to possess a piece with an individual voice, a bespoke gem for an equally discerning wearer. The Natural Gemstone Company curates rare finds precisely for clients who request exclusivity and a tangible connection to the earth s craft. We present this tourmaline to a limited audience, and each inquiry is treated with the discretion and attention befitting an item of such provenance.
