In the heart of Mozambique, the journey of an extraordinary pink tourmaline begins. Nestled within the earth's embrace, nature has preserved this gemstone for centuries. The vibrant landscapes of Mozambique provide the perfect environment for such treasures, with its rich soils and diverse minerals interweaving to create something truly spectacular. Amidst a colorful tapestry of biodiversity, mineral veins slowly crystallize over time, giving birth to stones like this remarkable 6.23 carat cushion shape tourmaline.
