The story of our exquisite 10.52-carat green tourmaline begins deep in the rich geological tapestry of Mozambique, renowned for its vibrant mineral wealth. Expert miners at a renowned mining site discovered this remarkable gemstone, hidden within the earth's layers, through a meticulous excavation process. These professionals, utilizing advanced geological understanding and careful extraction techniques, ensured that the tourmaline was unearthed with minimal impact on the surrounding environment, maintaining the integrity of both the gemstone and the land. This commitment to responsible mining practices is a principle that is highly valued by The Natural Gemstone Company.
Once extracted, the raw tourmaline traveled from the mine to a specialized lapidary workshop where skilled artisans with decades of experience commenced the intricate task of shaping and faceting. The cushion shape chosen for this gemstone accentuates its inherent allure and timeless elegance. With dimensions measuring 14.67 x 10.63 x 8.44 mm, the gem cutter applied a mixed brilliant cut to maximize light performance, ensuring the interplay of light and color was reflected to its utmost potential. The cutter skillfully balanced the facets, enhancing the stone’s brilliance and depth whilst considering the raw stone's intrinsic inclusions, which are classified with a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. This reflects the artisan's exceptional expertise in preserving the gem's natural beauty while achieving an excellent polish that only magnifies its already intense color intensity.
Finally, the tourmaline made its way into the hands of our evaluators at The Natural Gemstone Company. Here, it was subject to a rigorous appraisal, confirming its status as a piece of singular craftsmanship and quality. The intense green hue, akin to lush tropical forest canopies, challenges conventional displays and sets a new standard for gemstone aesthetics. This tourmaline represents not only the extraordinary journey from mine to marketplace but also stands as a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of all who contributed to its transformation. It beckons to knowledgeable connoisseurs who understand and appreciate the meticulous journey and sophisticated skill that goes into presenting a gemstone of such exceptional caliber.
