From the red earth of Mozambique to the quiet light of our showroom, this green tourmaline has walked the kind of journey that turns a mineral into a story. Mined with care in Mozambique, the rough crystal was selected for its remarkable transparency and depth of tone, and weighed 10.35 carats before the lapidary work began. Skilled hands saw the promise of a cushion shape, and the gem was carved into a sugar loaf cut that preserves weight while creating a domed pavilion that intensifies the stone s natural glow. The finished gem measures 12.67 by 12.51 by 8.44 millimeters, and presents an intense color intensity that reads as a deep, lively green under natural light. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, and the piece exhibits an excellent polish that allows light to travel through the material cleanly, revealing its internal life. There has been no enhancement, the color and clarity are entirely natural, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the origin and integrity of this piece.
In the cutting room the sugar loaf style was chosen for its ability to enhance saturation without sacrificing transparency, a decision that brings out the tourmaline s best attributes. The cushion outline gives a classic silhouette that pairs beautifully with both modern and traditional settings, while the generous depth allows for a face up presence that feels larger than its carat weight might suggest. Green tourmaline has long been cherished in cultures around the world for its association with growth and renewal, and this Mozambique stone carries that legacy in its facets. As a natural, untreated gem it appeals to collectors who seek authenticity, and as a beautifully finished jewel it appeals to designers who want a striking center stone. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take care to tell the full story of each gem, from mine to masterpiece, and we welcome you to inquire about bespoke settings or to request additional imagery and measurements so you can see how this exceptional tourmaline will perform in the piece you imagine.
