2.90 Ct. Cabochon Tourmaline from Mozambique

Formed over millions of years deep within the earth's crust, the exquisite red tourmaline offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a marvel of geological artistry. This 2.90 carat gemstone was created through a complex series of geological processes involving the perfect combination of high pressure and temperature, as well as the presence of the right mineral elements such as lithium, aluminum, and trace quantities of iron and manganese. These factors contributed to the development of its rich red hue, which is further accentuated by the naturally occurring color intensity that is classified as dark. Coupled with its transparency, this tourmaline is a visual spectacle, with the light passing through its facets enhancing its natural beauty.

The tourmaline from Mozambique, renowned for its high-quality gemstones, adheres to our standards of excellence in craftsmanship and appeal to those with an appreciation for fine details. The gem has been meticulously fashioned into a cushion shape, with dimensions measuring precisely 8.05 x 7.95 x 4.63 mm. This shape is favored for its historical significance and its classic aesthetic, offering timeless elegance. In terms of its cut, the sugar loaf design is distinctive due to its rounded top and sharp base, reminiscent of a conical shape. This particular style is less common, adding a unique dimension to the gem. The sugar loaf cut is specifically intended to retain the original rough mass of the stone as much as possible, optimizing its weight and volume while displaying the inherent color depth without the distraction of excessive facets.

The clarity grade, assessed at eye level as very slightly included, means that the gemstone contains minor natural inclusions which are only marginally visible to the naked eye. These inclusions serve as testament to the natural formation processes of the gemstone, without detracting from its overall beauty and allure. A gemstone with very slightly included clarity retains a high level of transparency, ensuring its visual appeal and enhancing the richness of its color when viewed in different lighting conditions. An excellent polish further elevates the gemstone’s aesthetics, allowing for an even and reflective surface that captures light perfectly, drawing attention to its natural color and brilliance.
