2.73 Ct. Cabochon Tourmaline from Mozambique

This listing from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a transparent 2.73 carat pink tourmaline, cushion shape, measuring 7.85 by 7.66 by 5.81 millimeters, with a sugar loaf cut that creates a softly domed, faceted crown. The gem displays a medium intense pink color that is evenly distributed across the table, enhanced by an excellent polish that produces crisp reflections and good light return. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem clarity when viewed without magnification. The stone is natural and untreated, with no enhancements, and originates from Mozambique, a region known for producing high quality pink and rubellite tourmalines. The combination of transparency, even medium intense color, and the sugar loaf interpretation of the cushion shape gives the stone a pleasing depth and a warm, gemmy appearance in face up orientation.

For an educated buyer, the value proposition of this specimen is clear, because it combines important factors that collectors and designers seek, color stability, natural origin, intact clarity, and good cutting and polish. Mozambique tourmalines are prized for their saturated yet natural hues, and the absence of heat or other enhancements here preserves full gemological integrity and resale desirability. The very slightly included clarity grade indicates a clean appearance to the naked eye while still retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm authenticity. At 2.73 carats and with dimensions that provide a substantial visual presence, this cushion sugar loaf is well suited for a variety of settings, from an elegant pendant to a refined ring, and its hardness and toughness make it suitable for regular wear with sensible setting protection. At The Natural Gemstone Company we document the origin and treatment status for our pieces, and we can advise on mounting options that maximize color and protect the cut, ensuring the gem performs well over time. This tourmaline is a sound choice for a buyer seeking a natural, attractive, and responsibly sourced pink stone with clear gemological attributes and aesthetic versatility.
