Tourmaline Olive Green 1.26 CT | Oval Cut, Mozambique
This 1.26 carat tourmaline presents a rich olive green that shifts with the light from spring leaf to deeper forest tones. The oval cut is lively and balanced, with crisp facet junctions that return bright flashes across the crown. Within the stone a soft chartreuse heart flows outward to a darker rim, creating a natural halo effect and hints of bronze along the girdle. The crystal is transparent with attractive internal fingerprints and fine tubes that are typical for tourmaline, giving the gem character without dulling its brightness. Polished to a clean vitreous shine, it faces up larger than expected and would sit beautifully in a ring or a sleek pendant.
Sourced in Mozambique, a modern powerhouse for fine tourmaline, this gem embodies the species chemistry of complex aluminum borosilicate colored by iron and traces of manganese. Tourmaline is strongly pleochroic, so expect subtle color play from yellow green to deep pine as the stone turns. With hardness in the seven to seven and a half range and a high refractive index, it is durable and naturally brilliant, and stones from this region are usually not treated. In our Vault this olive beauty is valued for its uncommon hue and clean make, offering an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive and wearable collectible.
