This purplish pink tourmaline carries a timeless presence that echoes the long tradition of treasured gemstones, a classic example of nature and craft coming together. Sourced from Africa, this transparent cushion shape gem measures 8.18 x 6.86 x 4.49 mm, and weighs a notable 1.73 carats, a weight that immediately elevates its desirability among collectors and connoisseurs. The mixed brilliant faceted cutting style allows light to dance through its intense color intensity, while an excellent polish enhances the gemological lines and vintage appeal. Slight inclusion at eye level attests to its natural origin and to the authenticity that discerning buyers seek, and a careful heat treatment has refined its hue without obscuring the stone character.
