4.90 Ct. Cabochon Tourmaline from Mozambique

Imagine a rare statement piece that announces arrival without a whisper, a jewel that feels like a private secret and a public declaration of refined taste. The Natural Gemstone Company presents a single, translucent green tourmaline of remarkable presence, weighing 4.90 carats, fashioned into a perfectly rounded cabochon. Its dimensions of 9.97 by 10.03 by 5.72 mm give it generous surface and depth, an ideal scale to showcase a green of intense saturation that draws the eye and holds it. This gem is unenhanced, its color completely natural, a pure expression of Mozambique ground, and its excellent polish allows every nuance of tone and internal character to play across the dome. For the collector who values authenticity as much as beauty, there is a profound satisfaction in owning an unaltered treasure of such quality.

Viewed in motion and in light, this cabochon reveals the virtues of tourmaline in a way that faceted stones do not. The rounded surface encourages an immersive, almost tactile experience of color, and the translucency allows inner flashes and pockets of brilliance to shift as the stone turns. Its color intensity is best described as vivid and green, a saturated hue that is lively yet sophisticated, neither garish nor muted. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and these gentle inclusions are not flaws to hide but fingerprints of the earth that mined and nourished the crystal. They catch light and create tiny, organic textures beneath the surface, enhancing the gem with personality and provenance, while the gem remains visually clean enough to suit the most discerning tastes.

This cabochon cut is celebrated for its timeless versatility in high jewelry, translating equally well into a commanding ring or a dressmaking pendant that rests at the throat like a secret kept close. Set in warm 18 carat yellow gold, the green will glow with intensified warmth, while a white metal setting will lend a contemporary, architectural edge. For a collector looking to emphasize the stone itself, a minimal bezel that follows the dome will protect the polished surface and frame the gem as an object to be admired. The tourmaline is grounded in practical luxury as well, with a Mohs hardness of around seven to seven and a half, making it suitable for daily wear with sensible care, and the excellent polish ensures a smooth, satiny touch against the skin.

Provenance is part of the story here, and this tourmaline hails from Mozambique, a source celebrated for producing stones of deep, natural color. There has been no enhancement to alter its hue or clarity, which is an increasingly rare attribute in a market where clarity and color are often modified. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the gem with transparent documentation and bespoke service to assist with any custom setting or certification needs. For those who understand jewelry as an extension of personal narrative and social currency, this green tourmaline is more than a possession, it is an affirmation of cultivated sensibility, a small estate of earth encapsulated in a single, luminous cabochon destined to become an heirloom.
