This remarkable transparent 19.26 carat emerald cut shaped gem measures 16.89 x 13.47 x 10.65 mm, and its faceted, fantasy 3d cutting style transforms every ray of light into a dance of brilliance. With intense color intensity, an eye clean clarity at face up viewing, and an excellent polish, this stone feels alive, ready to become the centerpiece of a proposal, an anniversary gift, or a promise kept. Heat treated to enhance its vivid hue, and originating from Africa, this tourmaline carries both natural origin and expert treatment, a rare combination that turns an ordinary exchange into a lasting memory.

Durability matters for the memories you plan to wear, cherish, and hand down, and tourmaline sits securely on the Mohs scale at about 7 to 7.5. This means it is harder than common gemstones like quartz, which is around 7, and it offers good resistance to everyday scratches, while it is not as hard as corundum gems like sapphire and ruby at 9, or diamond at 10. Compared to topaz at 8, this tourmaline still offers solid durability for rings, pendants, and heirloom pieces, especially when set with protective settings that reduce impact risk. The combination of its substantial size, eye clean clarity, and excellent polish means it will retain its lively sparkle with normal care, and with occasional professional cleaning it will remain a radiant reminder of joy and love. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select and present stones that do more than look beautiful, they create emotional connections and moments that linger, and this African bluish green tourmaline is a brilliant example of that promise. Choose this gem to mark a milestone, to surprise a loved one, or to celebrate yourself, and enjoy a jewel that speaks in color, clarity, and lasting charm.
