From the wild escarpments of Mozambique where crystals form slowly within the earth, this green tourmaline began its journey as a raw, hopeful fragment of mineral deep beneath the soil. Weathered rivers and shifting rock revealed its potential, and local miners, guided by generations of knowledge, carefully extracted the rough stone with respect for the land that nurtured it. Green tourmaline has long been cherished in many cultures for its association with renewal and balance, and this particular specimen carries that quiet story of place and people into every facet. The stone is transparent and carries a very light green hue that refracts soft, verdant light, inviting a contemplative warmth rather than bold brilliance, and its natural formation left unique internal signatures that speak to its authenticity and origin.
The transition from rough to jewel was entrusted to skilled lapidaries who shaped it into a cushion form and executed a sugar loaf cut to honor both the gem s natural character and the desire for an intimate, tactile presence. The finished gem weighs 3.56 carats and measures 9.32 by 8.93 by 5.96 millimeters, offering a pleasing scale for rings or pendants where its gentle green can be admired up close. Its clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a feature that adds individuality and a natural story rather than detracting from its beauty. The polish is excellent, allowing light to glide across the sugar loaf dome and reveal the subtle sparkle within. There has been no enhancement to alter its color or clarity, preserving the stone s honesty from origin to setting. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this cushion green tourmaline from Mozambique arrives ready to be set by designers who value provenance, craftsmanship, and the quiet narratives gemstones carry. Whether placed at the heart of a custom engagement ring or as a solitary pendant, it remains a tangible connection to the earth and to the hands that brought it forth.
