2.09 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Across centuries and continents tourmaline has been admired for its kaleidoscope of hues and its ability to carry the memory of the earth within its crystalline form. This exceptional example offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent pink tourmaline weighing 2.09 carats, cut into a radiant shape that blends classical proportions with modern sparkle. Measuring 9.19 by 7.26 by 4.60 millimeters, the gem presents a medium light pink that is serenely feminine yet unmistakably refined. The radiant cut has been executed to exacting standards, delivering a lively play of light and a pleasing balance of brilliance and fire. The surface finish is an excellent polish that allows the gem to sit with confidence in a variety of settings, and because this stone has received no enhancement, what you see is the true color and structure of a Ceylon origin tourmaline that has been respected and preserved through careful cutting.

Inclusions within this tourmaline deserve more than a passing glance, because they are the natural biography of the stone, signatures of formation deep within the earth. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to the unaided eye the stone reads as clean and transparent, while under magnification a collector or a gemologist can discover tiny internal features. These may take the form of delicate feather lines, fine crystal inclusions, or minute fluid traces that act as an internal landscape. Rather than detracting from the gem they confirm its natural origin and give it a unique identity, each mark akin to a fingerprint that differentiates this pink tourmaline from any other. Collectors and those who appreciate authenticity will value how these small inclusions tell a story of formation and movement, and will see them as charming irregularities that add depth and personality.

The radiant cut was chosen for its ability to marry the regal silhouette of an emerald shape with the scintillating facets more commonly associated with brilliant cuts, and in this stone the effect is particularly harmonious. The faceting pattern has been tailored to emphasize the medium light color intensity, allowing the pink tones to appear luminous rather than flat. The proportions of 9.19 by 7.26 by 4.60 millimeters create a comfortable table and pavilion depth that enhance face up size while preserving stability for setting, making this tourmaline versatile for a solitaire ring, a classic three stone arrangement, or an elegant pendant. The excellent polish ensures that each facet edge is crisp, contributing to the gem s optical performance and giving the piece a timeless sense of refinement. Because there has been no heat treatment or other enhancement, the stone carries with it the traceable provenance of Ceylon, a region long revered for producing gems with both color and clarity.

Owning a gem from The Natural Gemstone Company is an invitation to become part of an ongoing legacy that values history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. This pink tourmaline is suited to those who prefer jewelry that resonates with the past yet remains wholly wearable in the present, an heirloom in the making that can be handed down through generations. For everyday care we recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding prolonged exposure to strong chemicals and sudden temperature extremes to preserve the gem s structural integrity. When designing a setting, consider styles that protect the girdle and pavilion while allowing light to enter the stone, so that the radiant cut can perform at its best.
