This is a rare opportunity to own a truly singular and luminous treasure, an exceptional transparent 5.28 carat round yellowish green tourmaline from Tanzania, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem measures 9.93 by 9.99 by 8.45 millimeters, and it has been masterfully fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize both fire and face up color. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads as pristine to the naked eye while retaining the natural character that discerning collectors prize. Its color intensity is described as intense, a vivid yellowish green hue that sits between fresh spring green and rich chartreuse, and its polish is excellent, giving the surface a mirror like finish that allows light to dance cleanly from facet to facet. There has been no enhancement performed on this tourmaline, so you are receiving an unaltered, honest gem from the moment it was raised from Tanzanian soil. Pieces like this are not commonly available, and the combination of size, clarity, cut, color and natural origin places it among the select few that sophisticated collectors and bespoke jewelers seek out.
When considering reflective qualities, this Tanzanian tourmaline offers a remarkable balance of brilliance and internal color play that distinguishes it within the broader family of green gemstones. Tourmaline, with a refractive index that commonly sits higher than emerald, tends to return light with a slightly firmer sparkle, and this stone takes full advantage of that tendency because of its mixed brilliant cutting style. The mixed brilliant cut introduces both crown facets that enhance scintillation and pavilion facets that give depth, so compared to a typical step cut green tourmaline or an emerald cut, this gem will appear livelier across a range of lighting conditions. Compared to emeralds, which are prized for their velvety, saturated green but often display surface reaching inclusions, this tourmaline reads cleaner to the eye and projects a brighter, more energetic surface reflection. Against tsavorite garnet, which enjoys a higher refractive index and can exhibit intense sparkle, this tourmaline offers a different appeal, one that emphasizes a luminous, watery brilliance with a slightly softer, more organic flash. Versus green sapphires, which may show a deeper, more bluish green and very crisp dispersion, this stone instead offers warmth and a sunlit clarity that feels alive and immediate. In the spectrum of tourmalines themselves, this yellowish green example stands apart from copper bearing Paraiba types that glow with an electric neon, and from chrome dominated greens that present darker, more velveteen tones. The transparent nature and excellent polish of this gem make its reflective qualities exceptionally clean, giving pristine white flashes and colored reflections that carry through the stone without the cloudiness that can soften or scatter light in lesser specimens.
Owning this 5.28 carat round yellowish green tourmaline is an invitation into an exclusive circle of collectors who understand the subtle language of fine gems, and The Natural Gemstone Company is honored to present it to you. The gem is ideal for a bespoke ring, an heirloom pendant, or a private collection where rarity and uncompromised quality matter most. Given its untouched status, notable size for this color range, and Tanzanian origin, it is a piece that will not only make an immediate visual statement but also carry long term desirability. We offer detailed certification, professional imaging on request, and private viewings for serious clients, and our in house design team can advise on settings that will maximize the stones reflective performance and color presence. This is not a mass produced item, rather a single example that will belong to one attentive owner, and the scarcity of such high quality, natural, intensely colored yellowish green tourmalines makes this offering particularly exceptional.

We are committed to guiding collectors and connoisseurs through every step of acquisition, ensuring provenance, transparency and a level of service befitting an object of such singular beauty.
