7.64 Ct. Tourmaline from Mozambique

This beautiful transparent 7.64 carat slice shape watermelon tourmaline from The Natural Gemstone Company stands apart from the many small, heavily treated or poorly cut tourmalines commonly offered in the market, because it is a natural, unenhanced specimen that highlights the classic pink center and green rim in a clear, attractive presentation. At 16.02 by 16.85 by 2.89 mm this slice captures a generous surface area, making it ideal for designers who want a striking cross section exposed in a bezel or open back pendant, and for collectors who prize natural growth patterns. The gem shows light color intensity and excellent polish, and although it is evaluated as slightly included at eye level, these inclusions confirm its natural origin and add character without significantly affecting visual appeal. Compared to small faceted tourmalines that can lose much of their zoning during cutting, this slice preserves the vivid watermelon pattern and transparency that buyers seek, while offering a more authentic and organic aesthetic.

When compared to other watermelon tourmalines on the market this Mozambique origin piece offers clear advantages in uniqueness and value, because many competitive stones are heat treated, fracture filled, or cut to maximize carat weight at the expense of the natural color zoning. This specimen is free of enhancement, so purchasers receive a true, honest gemstone that reflects its origin and natural formation, rather than an altered appearance. Mozambique tourmalines are recognized for lively color contrasts and good transparency, and this slice benefits from those qualities while remaining more affordable than larger, fully faceted stones of similar color saturation from classic Brazilian or African localities. For those choosing between a faceted stone that emphasizes brilliance and a slice that emphasizes pattern and natural beauty, this piece represents the best of natural display, offering a gallery quality look that commands attention without unnecessary cost.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we focus on sourcing and presenting pieces that tell the story of the earth, and this 7.64 carat watermelon tourmaline is a prime example of that philosophy. Its size, transparency, and unenhanced status make it an excellent choice for designers looking to create unique statement jewelry, and for collectors seeking a genuine, well preserved specimen. If you value authenticity, distinctive color zoning, and versatility in mounting, this Mozambique slice compares favorably to many market alternatives and represents a smart and beautiful acquisition.
