4.75 Ct. Green Tourmaline from Afghanistan

This is a superb 4.75 carat cushion shape green tourmaline from Afghanistan, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, a piece that stands out for its substantial weight, vivid color, and fine craftsmanship. Measuring 9.71 x 9.43 x 7.73 mm, the gem has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances facet play with a generous face up presence, allowing the intense green color to resonate across the pavilion and crown. Clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which for collectors and connoisseurs translates to high visual transparency with only minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from brilliance. Polish is excellent, and the stone is untreated, with no enhancements, characteristics that materially affect desirability and market value for educated buyers who prioritize natural origin and integrity.

Weight is one of the most important determinants of value in colored gemstones, and a natural, transparent green tourmaline of 4.75 carats occupies a special price tier. Larger tourmalines of clean appearance and intense color occur far less frequently than smaller counterparts, so the per carat price typically increases as weight rises, reflecting scarcity as well as the visual impact when set in fine jewelry. In a cushion shape of these dimensions, the 4.75 carat weight produces a commanding presence suitable for a central stone in a ring, a statement pendant, or a bespoke piece where the gem can be showcased under controlled light, revealing depth and saturation. The mixed brilliant cut enhances light return, compensating for tourmaline s absorption characteristics by maximizing scintillation and perceived color intensity. The Afghan origin adds provenance value, as that region is known for producing rich green tourmalines with appealing hue and saturation. For buyers who focus on investment quality, the combination of substantial carat weight, intense natural color, very slightly included clarity at eye level, exceptional polish, and lack of enhancement makes this tourmaline a rare and attractive offering.
