4.05 Ct. Cabochon Tourmaline from Mozambique

This listing from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a single translucent green tourmaline weighing 4.05 carats, with an oval outline and cabochon cut, and dimensions of 11.04 x 8.91 x 4.65 mm. The gem displays a medium light green color intensity that reads as fresh and lively in daylight and softened under indoor lighting, and it has been evaluated as slightly included at eye level, a clarity grade that indicates the presence of small internal features that do not dominate the overall appearance. The polish is excellent, producing a bright surface luster across the domed face of the cabochon, and there has been no enhancement applied to this stone. Origin is Mozambique, a source known for producing attractive tourmalines with clean tones and consistent color distribution, a provenance that adds context for the discerning buyer who values natural, untreated material.

From a grading perspective this tourmaline deserves careful consideration for its combination of size, cut, and untreated status. The cabochon cut was chosen to showcase color and translucency rather than faceted brilliance, and it is particularly suited to stones with attractive internal character where a domed surface promotes soft glow and depth. Slight inclusions evaluated at eye level mean that under close inspection you will observe internal growth lines or minute crystals, common in natural tourmaline, and these inclusions can actually contribute to the stone character when set as a cabochon. The length to width proportion of 11.04 to 8.91 yields a balanced oval silhouette that is versatile for a range of styles, from classic bezel rings to pendants. With an excellent polish the surface quality is very high, minimizing surface blemishes and maximizing the pleasing tactile feel and visible sheen.

For the educated buyer this green tourmaline offers clear appeals that justify attention and investment. At 4.05 carats it is substantial enough to serve as a focal gemstone for bespoke jewelry, and being untreated enhances its desirability, because natural color without heat or irradiation is increasingly preferred in the marketplace. Mozambique provenance adds further credence, as recent deposits from that region have supplied the market with well colored material that balances value and rarity. Tourmaline hardness ranges around 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making this gem suitable for daily wear when set securely, particularly in bezel settings that complement the cabochon form and protect the girdle. For care we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to strong chemicals and extreme thermal shock, and cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush. The Natural Gemstone Company can provide updated photography, precise weight verification, and additional viewing angles upon request, and we welcome inquiries from buyers seeking certification options or custom mounting advice to ensure this attractive Mozambican green tourmaline performs beautifully in its next setting.
