Tourmaline

This natural, untreated Multicolor tourmaline, weighing 1.52 ct, was carved from a rough crystal weighing 32.20 ct. Along with two other sister stones, it originated from the same original crystal. Its appeal lies in its exceptionally well-defined multicolored pattern.

The color zones are clearly separated from one another: a soft pink meets green sections, with a light, almost white band in between. Particularly striking is a bold olive-green stripe that runs across the stone, lending its pattern an unusual depth.

Depending on the viewing angle, this banding appears almost three-dimensional. The different color layers seem to shift over one another, giving the stone a three-dimensional effect that constantly changes with the light.

Distinct natural features are visible inside. They are part of its natural structure and become part of the overall picture here, without obscuring the characteristic color distribution.

The geometric cut clearly frames this natural composition and highlights the contrast between the pink, the light-colored band, and the various shades of green.

An exceptional multicolor tourmaline whose appeal lies primarily in its distinct color-zone structure, its sense of depth, and its unmistakable natural composition.

The origin of these gemstones: Rough crystal, 32.20 ct

The following gemstones were cut from this rough crystal:

• Multicolor tourmaline, octagon cut, TB17-2 – 1.51 ct
• Multicolor tourmaline, oval cut, TB17-3 – 2.64 ct
• Violet-pink tourmaline, trillion cut, TB17-1 – 3.06 ct

Total yield: 7.22 ct – approximately 22.4% of the rough weight

The 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 Multicolor Tourmaline

Multicolor tourmalines feature multiple naturally occurring color zones within a single crystal. Particularly attractive are combinations of rose, pink, green, olive green, or lighter, nearly colorless transitions.

These different colors develop during crystal growth and can appear in the cut stone as clearly defined areas, soft transitions, or multilayered color structures. As a result, every multicolor tourmaline has a unique pattern that varies significantly from stone to stone.

Depending on the orientation of the rough crystal and the choice of cut, these color zones can appear very graphic, flowing, or almost three-dimensional. It is precisely this natural multicolored appearance that gives these tourmalines their special appeal.

Multicolor tourmalines often exhibit more distinct natural characteristics than uniformly colored stones. Therefore, when evaluating them, the focus is not solely on transparency and clarity, but above all on the harmony of the colors, the clarity of the zoning, and the stone’s appearance in the light.

This results in colored gemstones whose character stems directly from the structure of the original crystal - each with its own unique combination of color, structure, and depth.
