Turmalin

This exceptionally beautiful, natural, and untreated green tourmaline, weighing 0.71 ct, was crafted from a 3.25 ct rough crystal. Its vibrant play of colors - ranging from yellowish green to rich green - gives it a distinctly fresh, lively, and at the same time elegant appearance.

Its extremely strong brilliance is particularly impressive. Despite fine natural growth features, the stone produces an exceptionally intense play of light. With every movement, numerous bright green reflections emerge, causing the play of colors to appear anew time and again - ranging from warmer yellowish-green hues to a vibrant, rich, luminous green.

The crystal contains fine natural growth features. These remain clearly in the background compared to the color and brilliance and hardly detract from the stone’s impressive overall effect. Rather, they subtly highlight its natural formation and lend it a unique character.

The superbly executed teardrop cut combines a softly rounded shape with an elegantly tapering tip. The precise faceting enhances the strong light reflection particularly effectively and impressively showcases the vibrant interplay of the yellowish-green and rich green hues.

From its documented origin as a 3.25-carat rough crystal to the finished gemstone, this tourmaline exemplifies meticulous cutting planning, masterful craftsmanship, and the unadulterated beauty of a natural colored gemstone. Its vivid play of color, exceptionally high brilliance, and delicate natural growth characteristics make it a particularly vibrant and distinctive piece in the Bennad Collection.

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.
