2.16 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

I am pleased to present this exceptional purplish pink tourmaline, offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company. This is a single, transparent gem of 2.16 carat, a fancy shape that captures attention with a refined presence and a pedigree of origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. For the collector who insists on rarity, this stone is a deliberate choice, an offering that is not mass produced and is intended for a discerning owner who appreciates both the story and the substance behind a jewel. Its subtle purplish pink hue reads as elegant and restrained, with a light color intensity that allows the stone to remain versatile for bespoke settings or a signature solitaire piece. The dimensions of 9.17 by 8.83 by 4.96 millimeters provide a balanced footprint on the finger, and the weight lends a satisfying feel that is rare in gems of such refined tone.

What truly distinguishes this tourmaline is the precision of its mixed brilliant cut, a geometric faceting scheme that has been executed to maximize every photon that enters the gem. The crown and pavilion are arranged with calculated angles and facet junctions, creating a complex architecture of light and dark planes that alternate with each movement of the hand. The mixed brilliant cut combines truncated facets with brilliant style pavillioning to deliver a scintillation that is lively without being aggressive, yielding flashes of pink and violet that dance across the surface. The geometry of the cut has been designed to optimize return of light, so that the stone reads larger than its carat weight might suggest, and so that internal reflections produce a kaleidoscope of soft, yet distinct, light play. Under direct light the facets fragment the beam into lively sparkles, and under softer ambient light the gem offers a sheer, luminous wash that highlights its delicate color.

Clarity and polish have been carefully considered in this piece, with a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that elevates the overall effect. These slight inclusions are not flaws in the common sense, they are natural signatures that attest to the stone having formed without treatment, and they add a subtle textural depth that enhances character rather than detracts from beauty. With no enhancement applied to the stone, the color and clarity speak to a natural origin, a point of pride for anyone who values authenticity. The light color intensity allows the purplish pink to remain soft and wearable, while the transparency ensures each facet catches and returns light with clarity. The excellent polish brings facet junctions to crisp, reflective edges, and this finishing touch is essential in allowing the geometric faceting to achieve maximum brilliance and scintillation.
