Catalogue Essay

"Besides its large size, this extra-ordinary gemstone displays a richly saturated and homogenous colour, combined with a bright appearance. The pleasant shape and finely proportioned cut provide many vivid, internal colour reflections and the high clarity of the gemstone makes it eye-clean. Natural Paraiba tourmalines of this size, endowed with such intrinsic qualities as a high clarity and transparency, combined with a fine cut, which complements its visual appearance, are rare." - Gübelin Appendix to Report no. 25037237, 05 March 2025.
