2.26 Ct. Cabochon Tourmaline from Mozambique

From the depths of Mozambique where crystalline forces shaped minerals over eons comes a single, luminous treasure chosen by The Natural Gemstone Company, a green tourmaline that carries the story of earth and artisan in every facet. Born in pegmatite pockets where boron rich fluids cooled slowly, this tourmaline began as a quiet, vibrant promise, its color gathering intensity as trace elements settled into place. Miners in Mozambique, working with knowledge passed down locally, recovered a rough piece whose clarity and tone hinted at something special. We inspected the rough, appreciating its potential for depth and life, and decided to let the stone speak through a cutter who understood the balance between preserving weight and revealing color. The result is a transparent, unenhanced gem that still wears the quiet signatures of its origin, offering a connection to a place and process that cannot be reproduced in a laboratory.

Hand shaped into a cushion form and finished with a sugar loaf cut, this 2.26 carat tourmaline measures 6.96 x 6.95 x 5.81 mm, exhibiting an intense green hue that draws the eye and holds it. The sugar loaf style emphasizes the gems gently domed profile and broad facets, creating a deep, velvety face up color while allowing flashes of lighter green from within. Graded slightly included at eye level, the inclusions are part of its natural character and do not detract from its visual appeal, they affirm the stone is untreated, no enhancement. An excellent polish gives the surface a mirror like finish that sings under light and enhances the saturation and luster of the color. Whether set as a solitary pendant, a statement ring, or a bespoke design, this tourmaline invites settings that showcase its cushion silhouette and rich tone. We at The Natural Gemstone Company are proud to present this Mozambican gem, offering provenance, precise measurements, and a promise that it is natural and untreated.
