Gemstone Description
+
This 4.90 ct rubellite tourmaline from Mozambique features an oval cut with excellent proportions (11.15 × 8.51 × 7.61 mm), no windowing, and high-quality polish. Its medium-dark tone (6) and slightly brownish-reddish saturation (2) create a refined, understated palette—revealing dark pinkish-red hues in daylight and a purplish-red shift under incandescent light.
Despite its softer saturation, the gem has a dignified glow and presence, especially when paired with yellow or rose gold. Slight inclusions—typical two-phase structures and a small nick—are visible only under close inspection and do not interfere with its beauty.
With its combination of size, balance, and untreated purity, this gemstone would make a spectacular centerpiece for an important ring or bespoke pendant.
An elegant and substantial rubellite—natural, well-cut, and perfect for a timeless design.
