1.77 Ct. Bluish Green Tourmaline from Mozambique

One beautiful transparent 1.77 carat emerald cut bluish green tourmaline, measuring 12.29 by 4.15 by 3.68 millimeters, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem exhibits an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, attributes that make it immediately appealing to an educated buyer. The emerald cut emphasizes both color and clarity, producing clean, elegant lines that allow the stone to display its saturated bluish green evenly across the table. Clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, which means that under normal viewing conditions the stone reads visually clean, while minor internal characteristics confirm its natural origin. Importantly this tourmaline is unenhanced, so the rich color and natural transparency are intrinsic to the material. Origin is Mozambique, a region noted for producing high quality tourmalines with strong, saturated hues. Together the weight, cut, color intensity, clarity grade, lack of enhancement, and origin create a stone that is desirable for collectors, connoisseurs, and designers seeking a natural statement gem.

From a durability perspective this tourmaline offers a practical balance of wearability and beauty. Tourmaline typically ranks between 7.0 and 7.5 on the Mohs scale, harder than common materials such as quartz, similar in surface hardness to many everyday gems, yet softer than corundum and diamond which are 9 and 10 respectively. This means the stone resists routine scratching and is suitable for many types of jewelry, including rings when set with appropriate protection. Tourmaline does not have prominent cleavage like some gem materials, but it can be brittle under sharp impact, so protective settings are recommended for rings intended for daily wear. Care is straightforward, avoid harsh chemical cleaning and sudden thermal shock, and consider gentle warm soapy water and a soft brush for routine maintenance. Given the stone is very very slightly included and untreated, its optical performance will remain stable over time with sensible handling. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize honest grading and provenance, and this 1.77 carat emerald cut Mozambique tourmaline represents an excellent option for a buyer who values natural color, strong polish, and reliable performance.
