3.28 Ct. Tourmaline from Mozambique

This 3.28 carat transparent green tourmaline presents a rare combination of size, color and cut that is immediately distinguishable from the ordinary options on the market. Cut into a classic emerald cut shape with measured dimensions of 10.25 x 6.83 x 5.17 mm, this stone affords a broad, elegant table that showcases the gemosome clarity and the depth of the intense green color. The clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level means that under normal viewing the gem reads as clean and vibrant, unlike many commercial tourmalines where visible inclusions can interrupt light performance. The excellent polish supports crisp facet lines and lively internal reflections, giving the stone a refined, high end presence that compares favorably with similarly sized gems offered by larger volume sellers. Sourced from Mozambique and enhanced by careful heat treatment to stabilize and intensify color, this tourmaline bridges the gap between the rarer, more costly greens of tsavorite and emerald and the more common commercial tourmalines, providing superior visual impact and a rare combination of size and saturation for a fraction of the price of equivalent colored stones.

When compared to other green gemstones available today, this Mozambique tourmaline stands out for both aesthetic and practical reasons. Compared with emeralds of similar tone, this tourmaline offers cleaner appearance to the eye in many cases, with fewer fractures and better overall toughness which makes it more suitable for daily wear. Compared with peridot and lower grade green tourmaline material, the intense color intensity here reads fuller and more saturated, moving toward the rich, leafy greens collectors seek, while retaining the durability and affordability that makes tourmaline a smart alternative. The emerald cut further distinguishes this gem from round or mixed cuts that scatter color and reduce the perceived depth. The long step facets emphasize the stone's color zoning in a pleasing way, allowing the wearer to enjoy a dynamic range of green undertones from lighter olive to deeper forest depending on the light. The heat treatment applied is a standard and accepted enhancement in the trade, executed to enhance color without compromising clarity or structural integrity, and the result is a stable, beautiful gem that maintains its character under inspection and over time.
