2.28 Ct. Tourmaline from Mozambique

There is a distinct pleasure in holding a gem that speaks the language of centuries, a piece that carries both the memory of the earth and the tradition of skilled cutters, and this pear shape yellowish green tourmaline from Mozambique embodies that lineage. Tourmaline has been cherished through ages for its broad palette and its capacity to capture subtle shifts of light, and jewelers have long favored the pear shape for its elegant convergence of classic symmetry and graceful movement. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present this transparent 2.28 carat gem, a stone that reads like a chapter in the history of fine gems, yet is entirely suited to modern tastes. Its mixed brilliant cut unites pavilion facets that impart depth with crown facets that scatter light, offering the wearer both the quiet dignity of an heirloom and the lively sparkle expected of contemporary design. In an age when legacy and personal style are equally prized, a gem such as this bridges generations and can become the signature stone in a piece meant to be passed down.

Measured at 10.22 x 7.83 x 4.90 mm, this tourmaline displays a medium color intensity that is immediately appealing, a yellowish green that catches the eye while remaining versatile against a variety of metals and settings. Its clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, a characteristic that affirms its natural origin and lends character without diminishing its brilliance. The excellent polish enhances the mixed brilliant cut, allowing reflections to play across the table and along the shoulders of the pear form, while the heat treatment performed is a commonly accepted enhancement that stabilizes color and maximizes the gem s inherent beauty. When set as a pendant, the pointed end offers refinement and elongation, and when mounted as a center stone in a ring, the tapered silhouette flatters the hand. The green tones shift subtly under different lights, displaying warmer yellow notes in daylight and greener hues under incandescent illumination, making it a dynamic choice for designers and wearers who appreciate a living, changing color.

Beyond its measured attributes, this tourmaline is a study in versatility and enduring appeal, suited as readily to relaxed daytime wear as to formal evening attire. A simple bezel or a delicate halo will celebrate the gem s single point of focus for casual elegance, while a classical three stone or vintage inspired setting will elevate it to gala ready grandeur. Collectors who value provenance will appreciate its Mozambican origin and the trace of the earth that gives it personality, and those seeking a meaningful gift will find its combination of size, cut and polish ideally balanced to create a memorable impression. At The Natural Gemstone Company we pride ourselves on offering gems that are not merely beautiful, but also carry a story and a promise of longevity. This 2.28 carat pear shape tourmaline invites a lifetime of wear, ready to become an emblem of personal history, a piece that moves effortlessly between day and night, between casual moments and ceremonial ones, all the while retaining the timeless quality that defines classic gemstones.
