8.13 Ct. Green Tourmaline from Madagascar

This transparent 8.13 carat emerald cut green tourmaline from Madagascar is a rare combination of size, clarity, and color that stands apart from most market offerings, the faceted emerald cut measures 13.34 x 9.40 x 7.38 mm, the cutting style emphasizes the stone's clean lines and the excellent polish enhances every facet, the clarity grade is eye clean evaluated at eye level, and the intense color intensity presents a rich vivid green that reads clearly through the pavilion and table, unlike many tourmalines that appear washed out or heavily included. What makes this gem superior in value and authenticity is that it has no enhancement, which is becoming increasingly uncommon in the trade, many comparable stones are heat treated or clarity enhanced, or they come from sources with uncertain disclosure, while this piece from Madagascar offers natural beauty and transparency without alteration, that purity translates into both long term desirability and easier design decisions for jewelers and collectors. When you compare similar weight stones, you will find that many are either too shallow to show lively color or too included to justify a high quality setting, this tourmaline balances depth and spread, offering a commanding presence that still fits comfortably into refined jewelry designs.

For custom jewelry this gemstone is ideal because the emerald cut and its proportions lend themselves to elegant, versatile settings that showcase the stone rather than hide it, the 13.34 x 9.40 mm table and step cut geometry work perfectly for solitaire rings, cocktail rings, classic three stone designs, and statement pendants, the 7.38 mm depth provides sufficient pavilion for excellent light return while maintaining wearable proportions, the eye clean clarity allows open backs or cathedral settings without the need for closed back mountings, and the intense color pairs beautifully with both warm and cool metals, allowing designers to choose yellow gold for a vintage feel or platinum for modern contrast. Compared to common market alternatives that require significant finishing work or restrictive settings to mask flaws, this tourmaline arrives ready to inspire a clean, contemporary, or heirloom aesthetic.
