2.87 Ct. Tourmaline from Nigeria

When you are searching for a truly memorable gemstone that reflects both your personal taste and your values, this 2.87 carat radiant pink tourmaline answers that call with elegance and conscience. This transparent, intensely colored gem measures 11.52 x 5.78 x 5.94 millimeters, and its radiant cut has been expertly faceted to maximize fire and brilliance while retaining a modern, elongated silhouette. At eye level the clarity is graded very very slightly included, which means when set the stone reads as clean and lively to the eye, while its excellent polish gives every facet crisp, lively reflections. The color intensity is intense, presenting a rich pink that moves between rosy and mauve notes as light hits the pavilion, and the gem has undergone a responsible heat treatment to enhance and stabilize that desirable hue. If you are seeking an engagement ring center, a statement cocktail piece, or a collector quality specimen that balances presence and wearability, this gemstone meets those needs, and it arrives with the provenance and ethical commitment that conscientious buyers expect from The Natural Gemstone Company.

Beyond beauty alone, this radiant shaped pink tourmaline is a practical and inspired choice for jewelry and collection alike. The radiant cut delivers squared corners with a brilliant faceting pattern, offering scintillation that flatters a range of settings from a timeless solitaire to a halo or three stone design. The 2.87 carat weight offers a commanding presence without overwhelming a delicate hand, while its dimensions make it adaptable to custom bezel or prong work. The very very slightly included clarity graded at eye level assures that the gem looks clean when worn, while the excellent polish enhances light return and surface durability. Heat treated gemstones are an established and stable enhancement that improves color without compromising structural integrity, and when handled by a professional jeweler the tourmaline will take and hold a fine setting beautifully. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select cuts and finishes that balance lapidary artistry and practical wearability, so you can design a piece that will be worn often, admired frequently, and treasured for years.

Ethical sourcing is central to the appeal of this Nigerian tourmaline, and for many buyers that traceable origin is as important as the gem itself. We have established supply chain relationships with responsible miners and forming communities in Nigeria, and our partners adhere to fair wage practices and improved working conditions. Mining here is conducted on a scale that supports local livelihoods, and part of our commitment is to invest in reclamation and education programs that reduce environmental impact and open alternative opportunities for families who previously relied solely on subsistence methods. When you buy from The Natural Gemstone Company you receive full disclosure about the gem origin and the treatments it has received, and we document the path from mine to market so you can be confident your purchase supports ethical practices. For collectors and conscious consumers this transparency matters, because the beauty of a stone is magnified when you know it was sourced with respect for people and place.

Choosing this tourmaline closes the circle for many customers who want a gem that is beautiful, wearable, and responsible. If your desire is an engagement ring that celebrates a lasting bond, this intense pink radiant will speak with warmth and character, and it flatters both yellow and white precious metals as well as contemporary mixed metal designs. For collectors the gem is an excellent study piece that combines rarity of color, a refined cut, and a documented Nigerian origin. We are happy to advise on ideal setting options, recommended karat weights for complementary side stones, and insurance and care advice to keep the tourmaline looking its best. Simple care with warm water and mild soap, periodic professional cleaning, and avoidance of harsh blows will preserve the stone and its polish.
