3.34 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A single pear shaped pink tourmaline weighing 3.34 carats begins its story far from the display case, deep in the gem bearing gravels and pegmatites of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region known for producing stones with clear colors and honest provenance. Careful hand sorting at the mine separates this crystal from common rough, preserving its transparency before it travels to a local cutter who saw the potential in its proportions. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to maximize the gemformers natural sparkle and to balance weight retention with face up size, producing a clean outline that measures 15.43 by 7.78 by 5.12 millimeters. During the cutting and polishing stages every facet was refined to an excellent polish, and loupe and eye level inspection confirmed the clarity as very very slightly included, an exceptional result for an untreated stone. Unlike many market offerings that undergo heat treatment or clarity enhancement, this tourmaline is natural and untreated, offering the pure color experience that collectors and connoisseurs seek, with a medium intense pink that reads lively and fresh in daylight.

Compared to other pink tourmalines commonly offered, this gem stands out for a combination of size transparency and natural state, making it a superior choice for a statement ring or a bespoke pendant. Many alternatives sacrifice clarity for size, or rely on enhancements to achieve color uniformity, but this stone delivers honest value with its natural color and minimal inclusions that do not detract at eye level. The elongated pear silhouette provides design versatility, and the mixed brilliant faceting gives exceptional scintillation when set, outperforming simple step cuts in sparkle. At The Natural Gemstone Company we maintain rigorous quality controls from source to sale, and this gem is presented with provenance from Ceylon and a history of careful handwork rather than industrial treatment, attributes that appreciably raise its long term desirability and resale value. For customers comparing options, this tourmaline offers a rare combination of natural origin, substantial carat weight, refined cutting and superior polish, a package that places it above mass market stones and makes it a meaningful acquisition for collectors and fine jewelry designers alike.
