3.24 Ct. Cabochon Tourmaline from Mozambique

For centuries tourmaline has been prized across civilizations for its remarkable range of colors, its resilient nature, and the quiet dignity it lends to jewellery that is meant to be worn for generations, and this green tourmaline from Mozambique carries that lineage with a subtle and noble presence. Mined from one of Africas respected sources of gem quality tourmaline, this stone speaks to the passion of old world gem trade, when each parcel arriving from afar was a story of place and craft, and when the choice of a gemstone promised character as much as beauty. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honour that history by presenting stones that are natural, unenhanced, and carefully assessed, and this particular cushion shaped tourmaline is a splendid example of a gem that will feel at home in both classic and contemporary settings.

This transparent tourmaline weighs 3.24 carat, it is cushion shaped, and it measures 8.11 by 8.08 by 6.24 millimeters, an elegant size that offers presence without overpowering, and it has been fashioned in a sugar loaf cut that gives the gem a soft domed pavilion and broad facets that catch and diffuse light with a gentle, glowing effect. The clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone remains visually clean to most observers, while carrying the tiny, natural fingerprints that tell of its formation within the earth. The color intensity is faint, a pale and refined green that is especially appealing to collectors and designers who prefer understated, timeless tones, and the polish is excellent, delivering a bright, satiny finish across the table and crown. Importantly this tourmaline has no enhancement, a characteristic that preserves its natural origin and contributes to its authenticity and long term value.

A gem with this blend of provenance, proportions, and polish is ideally suited to become an heirloom, a piece to be handed down, admired, and worn on the most meaningful occasions, and its faint green hue allows for versatile styling, pairing beautifully with yellow gold for a warm, vintage character, with rose gold for a romantic mood, or with white metals and diamonds for a refined, modern contrast. For everyday wear the toughness of tourmaline supports regular use, and simple care will keep the stone at its best, gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrupt temperature changes, and having the mounting inspected periodically to ensure the gem is secure.
