Natural Tourmaline Rough · 1.585 ct · For Faceting · Unheated

This natural Green Tourmaline rough weighs 1.585 carats and presents a transparent green crystal fragment suitable for faceting, lapidary work or incorporation into rough gemstone jewellery.

Measuring approximately 10.1 × 4.1 × 4.0 mm, the specimen has an elongated rough form that may offer useful orientation possibilities for a small faceted gemstone, depending on the internal structure, inclusion placement and the cutter’s preferred final shape.

The material displays a natural green Verdelite colour. Verdelite is the traditional trade and colour-variety name used for green Tourmaline, rather than a separate mineral species. Depending on crystal orientation and illumination, subtle changes in green intensity may be visible due to the natural pleochroism of Tourmaline.

The rough is transparent, allowing good visibility into the internal material and making it possible to assess potential orientation before cutting. Natural inclusions, internal growth structures and minor fissures may be present and should be considered carefully during yield planning and preforming.

Its elongated dimensions may provide possibilities for elongated faceted shapes or smaller calibrated designs, although the final yield will depend on the internal clarity, crystal orientation and removal of natural surface irregularities.

In its present rough form, the stone also retains an attractive natural appearance and may be used directly in rough gemstone jewellery, wire-wrapped designs or a mineral collection without being faceted.

The outer surfaces remain naturally irregular and unpolished. Luster is therefore not formally graded in the rough state, although Tourmaline typically develops an attractive vitreous luster when appropriately cut and polished.

This 1.585 ct natural Green Tourmaline rough combines transparent material with an elongated form and attractive green colour. Its proportions provide potential for careful faceting, while its natural crystal character also makes it suitable for distinctive rough gemstone jewellery or collection purposes.
