1.99 Ct. Tourmaline from Madagascar

This 1.99 carat cushion shape peach tourmaline from The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare combination of color, clarity, and craftsmanship, a piece that stands apart from the usual offerings on the market. Measuring 8.79 x 7.14 x 4.72 mm, the gem features a mixed brilliant cut that balances depth and sparkle, producing lively flashes when it catches the light. The stone is transparent, with an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level, and a medium color intensity that yields a warm, flattering peach hue. The polish is excellent, and importantly, there is no enhancement, so you are acquiring a naturally beautiful Madagascar tourmaline in its original state. These attributes make this cushion peach tourmaline an exceptional candidate for fine jewelry, whether set as a center stone or as part of an elegant cluster design.

When it comes to brilliance and optical performance, this peach tourmaline offers qualities that many more common gemstones do not combine in one package. Compared to diamond, which has unmatched refractive index and fire, this tourmaline does not aim to mimic a diamond, but it does deliver a distinct, softer radiance that highlights color in a way a colorless stone cannot. Against sapphires, which can be deep and velvety, the peach tourmaline wins for lightness and warmth, producing a glowing, sunlit appearance rather than a dense shimmer. Against morganite and topaz, this tourmaline stands out for its clarity and the lively interaction between its mixed brilliant cut and the peach tone, producing scintillation and facet contrast that feel more dynamic than typical step cuts or poorly proportioned pieces. The mixed brilliant cutting style combines the depth and clarity of pavilion facets with the scintillation of brilliant facets, so each small movement creates balanced flashes rather than a single flat sheen. The result is an approachable brilliance that flatters skin tones and offers more visual interest than many mass market alternatives.

Value and rarity are key strengths of this piece, especially when compared to treated or lower clarity stones commonly found in the marketplace. Many gemstones with attractive colors undergo heat treatment or irradiation to stabilize or intensify their hue. This Madagascar tourmaline is free of enhancement, which adds to its desirability and resale value, and its eye clean clarity at just under 2 carats is notable because many gems in this size range show obvious inclusions. The cushion shape is classic and versatile, lending itself to vintage inspired settings as well as modern designs, and the dimensions are ideal for achieving presence on the finger without overwhelming delicate settings. Compared to similar sized morganite which can sometimes appear pale or cloudy, or compared to lower grade sapphires that require treatment and can command higher prices, this tourmaline represents a balanced investment in beauty and integrity.

Choosing this peach tourmaline from The Natural Gemstone Company means selecting a gem that communicates individuality through natural color, expert cutting, and ethical transparency. Its medium color intensity ensures it reads clearly in both daytime and evening light, while its excellent polish and mixed brilliant cut provide consistent scintillation that will draw the eye in jewelry applications. For clients seeking a stone that is distinct from commonplace options, that feels personal rather than manufactured, and that offers both aesthetic charm and long term appeal, this Madagascar cushion peach tourmaline is an outstanding choice.
