This transparent pink tourmaline presented by The Natural Gemstone Company is a cushion shaped gem weighing 2.69 carat, with measured dimensions of 8.36 by 8.35 by 5.56 mm. The stone exhibits a medium color intensity in a pleasing pink hue that balances saturation and brightness. Cut in a sugar loaf style, the gem shows a softly domed profile with faceted pavilion planes that contribute to controlled light return and an elegant appearance. The polish is graded excellent, delivering a smooth reflective surface and a refined luster across the dome and girdle areas.
Clarity is graded very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, with minor internal features that do not detract from the overall visual appeal or transparency. No enhancement has been applied to this specimen, preserving its natural character and integrity. Origin is Mozambique, a source known for producing tourmalines with attractive pink tones and stable optical properties. The combination of weight, dimensions, and cut makes this tourmaline suitable for use as a centerpiece in a range of jewelry settings, including bezel mounted pendants, protective halo settings, and more contemporary closed setting designs where the sugar loaf profile can be showcased while minimizing exposure to potential impact.
Handling and care recommendations aim to preserve the stone s condition and visual qualities. Avoid prolonged exposure to sudden temperature changes and strong chemicals, clean with a soft brush, mild detergent, and warm water, and remove during strenuous activity to reduce the risk of chipping along the lower girdle area. For secure mounting, consider settings that offer a balanced mix of protection and visibility to take advantage of the sugar loaf shape and excellent polish. Detailed gemological documentation and imagery are available upon request through The Natural Gemstone Company, including measurements, weight confirmation, and any laboratory reports if requested. Professional appraisal options can also be arranged to assist with valuation for insurance or bespoke design purposes.
