2.22 Ct. Cabochon Tourmaline from Mozambique

One beautiful translucent 2.22 carat oval shape green tourmaline from Mozambique is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this stone measures 9.10 x 7.09 x 4.23 millimeters, and it has been cut as a cabochon to showcase its rich internal color and smooth domed surface. The gem exhibits an intense color intensity, and the polish is excellent, which gives the stone a vivid, glassy luster that catches the light without the need for facets. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that the inclusions are minor, do not interfere with the overall beauty, and add natural character consistent with an untreated specimen. Importantly, there is no enhancement, so the color and clarity are wholly natural, and the origin of this attractive green tourmaline is Mozambique, an area increasingly recognized for producing saturated, high quality tourmalines.

When customers compare this cabochon green tourmaline to other market options, several practical advantages become clear. Faceted tourmalines can sparkle, but a cabochon emphasizes depth of color and can make a slightly smaller carat weight read larger visually, especially when the color is intense as it is in this piece. Many green gems on the market are also subjected to treatments such as heating, irradiation, or oiling to improve color and clarity, but those enhancements affect long term value and require disclosure. This Mozambique tourmaline is free of enhancement, which means its price stability and resale value are superior to treated stones of similar appearance. Compared with emeralds of comparable color, this tourmaline offers the advantage of fewer and less intrusive inclusions on average, and unlike many emeralds, it does not rely on oiling for presentation, making it a cleaner, low maintenance green gem choice.

Value wise, this cabochon tourmaline represents a compelling proposition for both designers and collectors. At 2.22 carats and with dimensions of 9.10 by 7.09 by 4.23 millimeters, the proportions are ideal for a wide range of settings, including rings, pendants, and custom pieces where a domed green surface can become the focal point. The intense color intensity allows jewelers to set this stone with simpler metalwork and still achieve a striking result, creating strong visual impact without the premium prices associated with larger faceted stones or more heavily marketed green gems. Compared to peridot, which often displays a lighter yellow green, this tourmaline delivers a deeper pure green that reads more mature and easily integrates into high end designs. Compared to treated or lower clarity tourmalines, this untreated, very slightly included specimen offers a clearer provenance and a more honest value proposition for buyers who want natural beauty without hidden interventions.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize provenance, accurate grading, and the honest presentation of each gem, and this Mozambique green tourmaline embodies those principles. The cabochon cut and excellent polish make the stone easy to set, and the durable nature of tourmaline means with reasonable care it will perform well in wearable pieces, though care should be taken to avoid hard knocks and heat exposure. For customers seeking a unique green gem that stands apart from the common alternatives, this piece offers natural color, minimal inclusions, no enhancement, and a pleasing size and shape that suits both contemporary and classic settings.
