From the ancient lands of Ceylon now known as Sri Lanka a gemstone has emerged that speaks to the annals of history and the timeless artistry of nature's splendor.

Tourmaline's storied past is rich and steeped in legend akin to the diamonds of Golconda or the emeralds of Cleopatra. Historians tell us that gemstones like the tourmaline have intrigued antiquarians for centuries prized by royalty and lauded for their diverse colors and myriad properties. This particular bi color tourmaline is no exception eliciting comparisons to legendary stones known for their duality of hues such as the sapphires of Kashmir or the highly coveted "Peacock" sapphires praised for their rare and entrancing colors. Its mixed brilliant cut only amplifies the striking interplay of tones capturing and refracting light with an effulgence seen only in the finest jewels.

Our tourmaline boasts a clarity grade that is very slightly included considered at eye level. This nuance in transparency adds to its uniqueness ensuring each stone is a singular masterpiece much like the famed emeralds of the Muzo mines in Colombia whose small inclusions are cherished by connoisseurs for their testament to the stone's natural origin. The medium intense color intensity present in this tourmaline channels a depth known to rival the famed Burmese rubies their colors deep and unyielding creating a visual tableau reminiscent of the masterful paintings of yore.
