7.04 Ct. Cabochon Tourmaline from Mozambique

This lustrous green tourmaline from The Natural Gemstone Company is a striking example of natural beauty and careful cutting, offered as a single transparent 7.04 carat cushion shape gem, with dimensions of 10.37 by 10.29 by 8.24 mm. The gem is fashioned in a sugar loaf cut, which creates a soft, domed profile that showcases depth of color and a serene reflective surface. At eye level the clarity is graded as very slightly included, which means the stone reads clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural character and internal features that are typical of genuine tourmaline. The color intensity is dark, providing a rich and dramatic green that is particularly appealing for statement pieces, and the polish is excellent, giving the surface a smooth, mirror like finish. Importantly, this tourmaline is completely natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and it originates from Mozambique, a source known for producing high quality tourmalines with vibrant color and good clarity.

When you compare this Mozambique green tourmaline to other green gemstones on the market, several advantages stand out. Against emeralds, this tourmaline offers greater transparency and fewer eye visible treatments, since many emeralds are commonly oiled or filled to improve appearance. Against green sapphires and tsavorites, the tourmaline provides a unique color spectrum and a different type of brilliance, with deeper tone and a glassy hardness that takes a high polish exceptionally well. Compared to other tourmalines, the combination of weight at 7.04 carats, the cushion shape, and the sugar loaf cutting style gives this stone more presence and visual mass for its size, making it ideal for larger rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces where the gem is the focal point. The very slightly included clarity offers a balance of natural authenticity and visual appeal, giving you a gemstone that feels genuine and alive, rather than overly perfected by treatments.

Value is a key factor when selecting a gemstone, and this piece represents excellent value for those who want substantial carat weight, natural origin, and no enhancement. Many gemstones at this size and color intensity may be pretreated or originate from sources that command different price structures. This Mozambique tourmaline combines desirable attributes into one package, so you benefit from a bold dark green tone, a refined sugar loaf cut that maximizes color and surface appeal, and the assurance of natural state. For designers and collectors who prioritize rarity and authenticity, the absence of enhancements significantly increases the long term appeal and potential resale value, because treatments can change market perception and long term stability. The generous size and cushion profile also mean that the stone can be set in a variety of styles without appearing undersized or compromised, and the excellent polish ensures that light performance and surface luster remain exceptional.

Beyond technical specifications, consider how this tourmaline will behave in jewelry and how it compares in terms of practicality and wearability. Tourmaline is known for a good combination of toughness and polishability, which makes it suitable for daily wear when set with care. The sugar loaf cut emphasizes depth and saturation, so the dark green reads consistently across lighting conditions, which is an advantage over gems whose color shifts unpredictably under different lights. Compared with some softer gemstones, this tourmaline will hold up favorably in rings and pendants, provided the setting offers protection to the edges and cabochon like dome. For customers looking for unique color, this piece reads as a deep forest green that can serve as an elegant substitute for darker emeralds or as a complement to warm metals and other colored gems. Because it is untreated, routine care is straightforward, using mild soap and water and avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we select stones with an emphasis on provenance, honesty, and craftsmanship, and this Mozambique green tourmaline embodies those principles. We provide clear information about carat weight, dimensions, cut style, clarity as seen at eye level, color intensity, polish, enhancement status, and origin so you can make an informed choice. Our goal is to connect customers with gems that stand out in competitive markets for their natural quality and real world value, rather than relying on heavy marketing or ambiguous treatment claims. If you are comparing options, this tourmaline deserves consideration for its rare combination of size, rich dark color, natural untreated state, and a sugar loaf cushion shape that imparts presence and elegance. For bespoke settings, investment pieces, or special occasion jewelry, this gem offers a distinctive and superior choice that reflects both aesthetic refinement and honest value.
