1.79 Ct. Green Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.79 carat oval green tourmaline, measuring 7.76 by 6.11 by 4.20 millimeters, exemplifies precise lapidary control and optical harmony. The length to width ratio of approximately 1.27 produces a classic oval silhouette that flatters both ring and pendant settings, while the depth of approximately 60.6 percent demonstrates an intentional balance between weight retention and optimal light return. The cutting style is faceted, executed in a mixed brilliant configuration that combines a brilliant crown to maximize scintillation with faceted pavilion planes designed to concentrate and saturate the green hue. The cutter preserved clean facet junctions and symmetry to achieve an excellent polish, enhancing surface luster and transparency. Clarity is evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, with minor internal characteristics that do not interrupt transparency or structural integrity, and that contribute to the gemological fingerprint without compromising brilliance. Color intensity is described as intense, with even saturation and hue distribution across the table and pavilion, and the stone is supplied in its natural state with no enhancement, a factor that materially increases its desirability in the market. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a historically respected source for fine tourmalines, contributing to provenance value and collector interest.

Owning this tourmaline represents an investment in both beauty and craftsmanship, as the gem combines natural material quality with expert cutting philosophy to deliver long term aesthetic and market appeal. Untreated green tourmalines of this weight and clarity with intense saturation are comparatively rare, and the mixed brilliant faceting was chosen to enhance perceived color without sacrificing carat, a decision that benefits both visual impact and liquidity. The excellent polish and precise cutting maximize light performance and wearability, making the gem suitable for daily wear in secure settings, while its durable crystal structure ensures longevity as an heirloom piece. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize provenance, cutting integrity, and transparency in treatment status, and we can provide detailed documentation to support valuation and future resale. This gemstone is therefore not only a refined expression of gemological skill, it is also a thoughtful acquisition for connoisseurs seeking a tangible blend of natural rarity and expert craftsmanship.
