Tourmaline

This exceptionally beautiful, natural, and untreated tourmaline, weighing 3.06 ct, was cut from a rough crystal weighing 32.20 ct. Together with a 1.52 ct watermelon tourmaline in an octagon cut and a 2.64 ct watermelon tourmaline in an oval cut, it originated from the same original crystal. Within this small group of siblings, it holds a special place: With its impressive size and a deep, intensely saturated magenta, it is one of the most beautiful tourmalines in the Bennad Collection.

The color alone gives it an extraordinary presence. Vivid shades of pink and magenta blend with subtle lilac hues, creating a depth of color that shifts with every change in light.

Its brilliance is particularly remarkable. Bright, intense reflections emerge from different layers of the stone, causing the magenta to literally glow in places. This creates an impressive sense of depth that goes far beyond the mere effect of color.

Natural growth features are visible inside the stone, but they do not detract from its luminosity. Rather, they provide a striking contrast to the strong reflections and highlight its natural origin.

The trilliant cut further enhances this effect: light, color, and internal structure interact at ever-changing angles, making the stone appear exceptionally vibrant.

An extraordinary magenta tourmaline with a commanding presence - intense in color, profound in its play of light, and one of the most outstanding stones in our collection.

Interesting Facts About Pink Tourmaline

Pink to fuchsia-colored tourmaline belongs to the diverse mineral group of tourmalines. Its color spectrum ranges from delicate rosé and peach tones through bright pink to bold, intense reddish-pink shades. Many stones display varying intensities of color depending on the angle of light and the direction from which they are viewed. Transparent tourmalines with a vibrant, as uniform as possible pink or rose 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 rose- and pink-colored 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 color 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.
