Turmalin

This exceptionally beautiful, natural, and untreated tourmaline, weighing 0.59 ct, was cut from the same 6.60 ct rough crystal. Together with its 1.23 ct baguette-cut sister stone, it originated from the same original crystal and also displays the characteristic, intensely luminous bluish-green “Electric Green” of this special color group.

Its color appears fresh, clear, and almost electrifying. Depending on the angle of the light, cool green-blue to slightly turquoise hues emerge, giving the stone a very modern and vibrant appearance. It is precisely this intense, luminous blue-green color that makes it a particularly attractive companion stone.

The tourmaline exhibits very strong brilliance. The precise faceting creates numerous bright green and green-blue reflections that make the stone glow intensely when in motion and further enhance its color.

The crystal contains slight natural growth features. These remain subtle in the overall appearance and do not significantly detract from either the intense color or the strong brilliance. Rather, they naturally attest to the crystal’s unique formation.

The superbly executed baguette cut accentuates the gemstone’s clean, linear shape. Its precise geometry lends it an elegant, almost architectural appearance and creates a striking contrast to the exceptionally vibrant play of color and light.

From its documented origin as a 6.60 ct rough crystal to the finished gemstone, this tourmaline exemplifies meticulous cutting planning, masterful craftsmanship, and the unadulterated beauty of a natural colored gemstone. Its electric-green-like, bluish-green color, intense brilliance, and delicate natural growth characteristics make it a particularly distinctive companion stone within this extraordinary pair from the Bennad Collection.

The Green Tourmaline originates from southern Africa. The rough stone was sourced for us directly from the source through our partners, inspected by us, and then expertly cut.

⁽*⁾To the best of our knowledge and according to information from our local partners, the gemstone is untreated.

For an additional fee, we’d be happy to arrange for a certificate from an independent gemological institute to be issued for this gemstone.

Images may vary depending on monitor settings. The videos of the stone were recorded without filters or color correction.

The true beauty of a gemstone is only revealed when you hold it in your hand. With every slight movement, the angle of the light, the reflections, and the play of colors change, giving each stone its own unique vibrancy. 

Interesting Facts About Green Tourmaline or Verdelith

Green tourmaline, often referred to in the trade as verdelite, belongs to the diverse mineral group of tourmalines. Its color spectrum ranges from delicate yellowish-green and fresh leaf-green tones to vibrant forest green and deep, slightly bluish-green shades. Many green tourmalines exhibit pronounced pleochroism and can display varying color intensities depending on the viewing angle. Transparent stones with a vibrant, as uniform as possible green color, high brilliance, and an excellent cut are particularly sought after.

Natural inclusions are characteristic features of a natural gemstone. They can provide clues about its natural origin and help distinguish it from synthetic or imitation materials. At the same time, clarity - along with color, cut, and carat weight - is one of the key factors that determine a gemstone’s quality and value.

High-quality green tourmalines attract the attention of collectors, gemstone enthusiasts, and buyers who view rare colored gemstones as long-term assets. Larger, transparent stones with intense, attractive color, very good clarity, and a precise cut that optimally showcases their hue and brilliance are in particularly high demand. Exceptional specimens that combine these characteristics are available in limited quantities and may occupy a special position in the market due to their quality, size, and rarity. However, future value appreciation cannot be predicted and always depends on color, clarity, cut, carat weight, rarity, and demand.
