Tourmaline belongs to a complex family of borosilicate minerals celebrated for their extraordinary range of colors. Depending on their chemical composition, tourmalines can occur in shades of green, blue, pink, red, yellow, and numerous combinations of these colors. This remarkable diversity has made tourmaline a favorite among collectors seeking unusual and distinctive gemstone colors.
Yellowish green tourmalines offer an interesting alternative to the deeper forest-green and bluish green varieties. Their coloration can be influenced by trace elements such as iron and variations in the mineral's chemical composition, producing a range of appearances from light yellow-green to richer olive and grassy green tones.
This specimen is unheated, retaining its naturally occurring yellowish green coloration without heat enhancement. Its moderately included clarity reflects natural internal characteristics, contributing to the individuality of this gemstone.
Mozambique is an important source of gem-quality tourmaline, producing an impressive range of colors and varieties. The country's mineral-rich pegmatite deposits have contributed significantly to the international colored gemstone trade, making Mozambican tourmalines increasingly recognizable among gemstone enthusiasts.
At 1.64 carats with dimensions of 7.7 x 6.8 x 4.7 mm, this tourmaline offers attractive proportions for custom jewelry. Its classic oval shape makes it an appealing choice for a distinctive ring or elegant pendant, particularly in a setting that emphasizes its unusual yellowish green coloration.
Tourmaline has a hardness of approximately 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, providing good resistance to scratching with appropriate care. Protective settings and precautions against sharp impacts will help preserve its polished surfaces and facet edges.
The combination of Mozambique origin, natural yellowish green coloration, unheated character, and classic oval styling gives this individual gemstone distinctive appeal.
