2.32 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional greenish brown tourmaline, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a transparent emerald cut weighing 2.32 carats, with dimensions of 9.36 x 5.98 x 4.65 mm. Its emerald cut brings a refined, architectural elegance that emphasizes color and clarity over flash, creating a serene, sophisticated presence that is rare among tourmalines in this weight class. Evaluated at eye level with a clarity grade of very slightly included, the stone reads as clean to the eye and displays an intense color intensity that shifts subtly with movement, revealing the pleochroic character tourmaline is prized for. The excellent polish maximizes light return across the elongated step facets, producing crisp facet reflections and a smooth, glasslike finish that elevates the stone beyond typical commercial cuts. Importantly, this tourmaline is completely untreated, with no enhancements, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a locality known for producing well formed gems with stable, desirable color characteristics that appeal to both connoisseurs and designers.

When compared with other gemstones on the market this Sri Lankan tourmaline offers distinct advantages in quality and value. Unlike emeralds of similar visual weight which often require oiling or other treatments to improve appearance, this tourmaline presents its natural beauty untouched, providing transparency and clarity that collectors prize. Compared with sapphires and spinels that are commonly heat treated to deepen hue and remove zoning, this piece stands out as a genuinely natural color experience, which is increasingly sought after by discerning buyers. Against common tourmaline colors this greenish brown tone is more unusual and therefore more unique, offering a versatile neutral palette that shifts between earthy sophistication and subtle green allure depending on light and setting. From a value perspective the combination of eye clean clarity, intense saturation, and a precise emerald cut yields a superior price to quality ratio relative to many treated or heavily included stones on the market, making this gem an intelligent acquisition for both jewelry and investment minded buyers.

Owning this gemstone is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship because every aspect of the piece speaks to careful selection and skilled lapidary work. The choice of an emerald cut for a 2.32 carat tourmaline is deliberate, it preserves carat weight while enhancing color depth and delivering a clean, elegant silhouette that lends itself to high end settings. The excellent polish and well executed proportions reflect hours of expert cutting that optimize optical performance without sacrificing the gem s inherent character. The untreated origin from Ceylon adds provenance value, as connoisseurs increasingly prize stones that tell a transparent story of place and geology rather than those altered to appeal to market trends. Over time untreated, well cut gems with eye clean clarity and intense natural color retain and often appreciate in desirability, because they are rarer and more authentic than their treated counterparts. For the buyer who values workmanship, this tourmaline offers the tactile satisfaction of a gem that has been shaped by human skill to reveal its innate beauty, and the intellectual satisfaction of owning a documented, honest specimen.

As a piece from The Natural Gemstone Company this tourmaline comes with the assurance of ethical sourcing and expert guidance for setting and care. Its dimensions of 9.36 x 5.98 x 4.65 mm suit a range of elegant designs, from a signature solitaire ring that highlights the stone s clean lines, to a refined pendant or bespoke cocktail piece that plays up its color shifts. Given tourmaline s strong durability that sits comfortably in the everyday wear range with appropriate protective settings, this stone is equally suited to heirloom jewelry that can be passed down. In comparison to many market alternatives this gem stands apart for combining untreated, intense color, excellent polish and an eye clean clarity in a purposeful emerald cut.
