3.95 Ct. Tourmaline from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a singular centerpiece that ends the long hunt for something truly distinctive, this 3.95 carat asscher octagon brownish green tourmaline is the answer. Many customers tell us they want a stone that reads as refined and serious, yet refuses to blend into the crowd of conventional choices. This transparent tourmaline meets that need with a dark color intensity that feels both moody and elegant, and an asscher cut that gives the gem an architectural presence on the finger. The size and weight are substantial at 3.95 carats, and the dimensions of 9.43 x 9.16 x 6.07 mm give you a perfect balance between visible table and manageable depth for a ring, pendant, or bespoke collection piece. If your priority is to own something rare, natural, and visually compelling, this stone completes that quest with authority, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it to discerning buyers.

From a gemological perspective this tourmaline offers everything a collector or custom jeweler asks for, clarity, cut, color, and provenance. The asscher cut and octagon shape have been executed with excellent polish, producing precise facets and a crisp step pattern that emphasizes the gem quality. Clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to the viewer while retaining proof of its natural origin. The color is a brownish green with dark intensity, a hue that shifts subtly in different light and rewards close inspection with depth and complexity. There is no enhancement of any kind, so what you see is the natural beauty of a Sri Lanka origin tourmaline from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. For clients who care about untreated stones and verifiable origin, this gem offers authenticity along with aesthetic excellence.

When it comes to brilliance and optical performance, tourmaline plays by a different set of rules than diamonds or some classic colored stones, and that is exactly why it stands out. Diamonds, with their high refractive index and dispersion, create intense scintillation and colorful fire, and sapphires and emeralds are prized for saturated color and luster. This asscher cut tourmaline does not compete by mimicking diamond type sparkle, rather it delivers a layered, contemplative light show, where light is guided by the step facets into deep square flashes known as a hall of mirrors effect. The result is an internal brilliance that feels more architectural than explosive, more sophisticated than loud. Additionally tourmaline often shows pleochroism, meaning the brown and green tones play off each other depending on viewing angle and light source, giving a living quality to every movement. For someone seeking a gem that projects individuality, depth, and a controlled elegance rather than conventional brilliance, this stone will satisfy and continually reward examination.

Practical styling and ownership considerations complete the picture, and The Natural Gemstone Company can help you envision this tourmaline in several settings. For warmth and to enhance the brownish green notes, consider a yellow gold bezel or four prong setting that allows the asscher table to face the viewer squarely, making the color glow. For a modern, minimalist approach, a white gold or platinum mount will emphasize the step cut geometry and create a striking contrast with the dark intensity of the gem. This stone also suits someone seeking an alternative engagement ring, a statement ring for everyday wear, or a highlight for a collectors cabinet. Because it is untreated and from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it will appeal to buyers who prioritize natural provenance and ethical sourcing, and it is a rare find at this weight and in this cut. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the details, and we are ready to assist you with custom design options, secure shipping, and gem care advice so your search truly ends with this exceptional tourmaline.
