3.17 Carats | Natural Purple Tourmaline - Madagascar

A distinctive 3.17-carat natural purple tourmaline from Madagascar, displaying an elegant blend of purple, magenta and rich pink-violet tones. Its elongated geometric form gives the gemstone a striking presentation that stands apart from more conventional tourmaline cuts.

The step-style faceting produces broad flashes of color across the stone, shifting from softer pink-purple through saturated magenta depending on the viewing angle and lighting. At over three carats, the stone has substantial presence while maintaining an elongated profile suitable for a unique custom jewelry design.

The gemstone is naturally included, with internal feathers, wisps and other natural characteristics visible within the stone. These inclusions are intentionally represented in the photographs rather than concealed, preserving an accurate presentation of its natural character.

Madagascar is an important source of tourmaline and is known for producing material across an unusually broad spectrum of colors. Purple and pinkish-purple examples occupy a particularly distinctive part of tourmaline’s extensive color range.
