Chrome Tourmaline - Forest Green

A Stone That Invokes A Balancing Energy 

Deep Forest Green, Fully Saturated With Electric Green Flash.

A captivating gem sourced from the legendary fields of Mozambique, one of the world's premier origins for Chrome Tourmaline, this extraordinary stone radiates a vivid, fully saturated forest green that is said to generate its own energy of calming and balance.

Chrome Tourmaline owes its exceptional color to trace amounts of chromium; the same element responsible for the green in fine Emerald and Tsavorite, yet it achieves a depth and brilliance entirely its own. This specimen basks in light only to glow brighter and brighter, a living, breathing intensity that shifts with every turn.

A Rarity Within a Rarity

Chrome Tourmaline is already among the scarcest gemstones in the fine gem market, but a specimen of this caliber represents a rarity within a rarity. Fine-quality Chrome Tourmalines above 3 carats are exceptionally uncommon; the vast majority of gem-quality material is recovered in sizes well under 2 carats, making anything above that threshold a true collector's milestone.

Add to it the mixed round cut, a shape that demands exceptional rough to execute without sacrificing weight or color and the significance of this stone becomes clear.

Cutters rarely attempt a round cut on Chrome Tourmaline at this size precisely because the material is too precious to risk. That this stone exists in this cut, at this weight, with this color saturation and loupe-clean clarity, is exceptional in its own right.
