1.60 Ct. Green Tourmaline from Tanzania

This exquisite transparent green tourmaline weighs 1.60 carats, and presents a classic cushion shape with precise proportions measuring 7.28 by 6.40 by 4.60 mm, and enjoys a mixed brilliant cut that balances broad facets with a faceted pavilion to optimize both color and scintillation. The gem exhibits medium color intensity, a lively green tone that remains versatile under varied lighting, and an excellent polish that enhances surface brilliance and clean reflections. Clarity is graded very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor inclusions that do not detract from face up appearance or overall light performance, and the stone is natural with no enhancement, a factor that significantly increases desirability among discerning buyers. Origin is Tanzania, a source known for producing tourmalines with transparent quality and attractive tones, and these provenance details are part of the documented description provided by The Natural Gemstone Company.

For the educated buyer this tourmaline represents a measured investment in beauty and craftsmanship, combining intrinsic gemological qualities with artisanal cutting decisions that maximize visual appeal. The mixed brilliant cut and cushion outline create a balance between fire and color saturation, making the stone equally suitable for a solitaire ring or an elegant pendant, and the very slightly included clarity means the gem reads as clean to the eye while retaining natural character and stability. Because it is untreated, the stone commands greater market respect and long term collector interest, and Tanzanian origin contributes provenance that informed collectors and designers appreciate. When assessing value consider the rarity of untreated, well cut tourmalines at this size, the excellent polish which preserves light return over time, and the practical dimensions which facilitate secure and attractive mounting. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the accuracy of these details and the ethical sourcing practices that accompany this gem, making ownership not only an acquisition of color and brilliance, but also an investment in responsible sourcing and refined lapidary skill. This tourmaline is therefore both an immediate wearable delight and a considered addition to a curated collection, offering enduring aesthetic appeal and the potential for stable market interest over time.
