Tourmaline belongs to a complex group of borosilicate minerals celebrated for their extraordinary diversity of colors. Depending on their chemical composition, tourmalines can occur in shades of green, pink, red, blue, yellow, and many other colors. Some crystals also develop multiple color zones during growth, contributing to the remarkable variety found within the tourmaline family.

Brazil is one of the world's most important sources of gem-quality tourmaline, with deposits producing an impressive range of colors and varieties. Brazilian tourmalines have long been valued by gemstone collectors and jewelry designers for their beauty, diversity, and distinctive mineral characteristics.

At 3.56 carats with dimensions of 15.2 x 5.7 x 4.4 mm, this gemstone offers substantial face-up presence and a particularly elongated profile. Its proportions make it an attractive candidate for a custom pendant or a carefully designed ring, where its length can be emphasized through a distinctive jewelry setting. It also makes an appealing addition to a collection of Brazilian gemstones.

With a hardness of approximately 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, tourmaline offers good suitability for jewelry when properly protected from impacts and abrasion. Its combination of Brazilian origin, unheated character, and elegant elongated proportions gives this individual gemstone a distinctive presentation.
