Turmalin

This exceptionally beautiful pair of natural, untreated green tourmalines, with a total weight of 2.12 ct, was cut from a 4.81 ct rough crystal. Both gemstones feature a square octagon cut and display a deep, luminous apple green of remarkable freshness and intensity.

The two tourmalines are eye-clean. Their crystal-clear transparency allows light to flow effectively through the crystals, showcasing the intense apple green color in a particularly striking way. The stones exhibit a remarkably vibrant green brilliance: with every movement, bright reflections and flashes of green light are created, making the pair appear to glow almost from within.

The superbly executed square octagon cuts give both gemstones a particularly clear and balanced geometry. The characteristic beveled corners and precisely cut facets combine an almost architectural design language with a vibrant play of light. It is precisely the contrast between the austere square shape and the intensely luminous green that makes this pair particularly appealing.

Because they share a common origin from a single rough crystal, the two sister stones exhibit a particularly harmonious consistency in color, transparency, and character. The deep apple green has a pronounced color saturation, yet remains fresh, open, and radiant thanks to its high clarity and brilliance.

From its documented origin in a 4.81-carat rough crystal to the finished gemstones, this pair of tourmalines exemplifies meticulous cutting planning, masterful craftsmanship, and the unadulterated beauty of naturally colored gemstones. Its deep, luminous apple green color, flawless clarity, exceptionally vibrant green brilliance, and harmoniously coordinated square octagon cuts make this pair a particularly striking piece from 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.
