Turmalin

This natural, untreated pink tourmaline, weighing 0.88 ct, was cut from an exceptionally large 38.82 ct raw watermelon tourmaline crystal. It was cut from the same original crystal as three other watermelon tourmalines. Its hue is a warm, delicate pink that gives the stone a distinctly elegant, refined, and yet vibrant appearance.

The tourmaline has beautiful transparency. This gives the delicate pink an open and clear appearance and lends it a subtle inner depth. Depending on the angle of the light, the color appears slightly softer or more intense, without losing its warm and elegant fundamental character.

The crystal contains slight natural growth features. They remain subtle in the overall appearance and do not significantly impair either the crystal’s clarity or its beautiful play of light. Rather, they subtly highlight the gemstone’s natural formation.

Its high brilliance is particularly captivating. The precise faceting creates numerous bright reflections that make the warm pink glow anew with every movement. As a result, the stone combines a very feminine, delicate color effect with a vibrant and elegant presence.

The superbly executed pear cut combines a softly rounded base with an elegantly tapering tip. Its harmonious silhouette highlights the tourmaline’s delicate play of color, while the precisely cut facets beautifully accentuate its transparency and brilliance.

Particularly interesting is its connection to the other stones from the same 38.82-carat watermelon tourmaline rough crystal. Alongside this 0.88 ct pink tourmaline in a pear cut, three “watermelon” sister stones were created: a 1.39 ct octagon cut, a 0.73 ct trillion cut, and a 1.34 ct baguette cut. Although all four stones share the same origin, each one exhibits its own unique color character and individual internal structure.

From its documented origin as a 38.82-carat rough crystal to the finished gemstone, this tourmaline exemplifies meticulous cutting planning, precise craftsmanship, and the authentic diversity of a natural crystal. Its warm, delicate pink hue, its transparency, its high brilliance, and its pairing with the three watermelon sister stones make it a particularly elegant piece in the Bennad 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.
