3.11 Ct. Tourmaline from Tanzania

From its first glimmer deep within Tanzania earth to the finished gem you see here, this green tourmaline tells a story of place and care. Hand recovered by artisanal teams who work with local communities, the rough stone traveled from Tanzanian pegmatites into the hands of cutters who recognized its potential. The result is a transparent 3.11 carat oval green tourmaline, with dimensions 9.86 x 7.59 x 5.41 mm, fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize fire and light return. Its clarity grade is slightly included evaluated at eye level, a small, natural fingerprint that confirms authenticity and character, while its intense color intensity and excellent polish give it a striking presence in any setting. There has been no enhancement to this gemstone, so you receive a stone in its honest natural state that celebrates the miner, the cutter, and the land that gave it life.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we place provenance and responsibility at the heart of every piece, and this tourmaline is a clear example of that commitment. The Tanzanian origin is traceable through our sourcing channels, and the mine partners we work with follow practices that prioritize fair wages, safe working conditions, and community reinvestment, together with efforts to reduce environmental impact during extraction. Choosing this gem is a choice for mindful luxury, a way to build a collection that reflects ethical values without compromising on beauty. The slightly included clarity and unenhanced nature make it especially suited to someone who appreciates natural character and wishes to wear a gem that has a transparent story. Whether set as a solitary pendant to show its intense green in daylight, or paired with warm metals for a signature ring, the proportions and mixed brilliant cut make it versatile and enduring. This tourmaline is not only a jewel, it is a narrative of craftsmanship and care, meant to be passed down as a piece of living heritage. If you seek a conscious addition to your collection that honors origin, artisanship, and honest beauty, this Tanzanian green tourmaline embodies those values and will resonate with the thoughtful collector who wants more than a gem, who wants a story they can stand behind.
