Known in gemology as dravite. Is among the rarest tourmaline colours to find in gem quality. While most buyers are familiar with pink and green varieties, collectors prize dravite for its distinctive warm tones and exceptional scarcity in sizes above 2 carats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Certification\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis tourmaline originates from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), an island whose complex metamorphic geology produces tourmaline in an extraordinary range of colours.

While pink and green tourmalines are widely available, a 2.90ct dravite with good clarity and a well-executed pear cut is the kind of stone that experienced collectors seek out precisely because it is so difficult to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pear shape is one of the most flattering cuts for tourmaline at this size, the elongated silhouette maximises visual presence, making this stone ideal for a dramatic pendant, a collector's display piece, or a unique engagement ring for someone who values individuality over convention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt $900 AUD for nearly 3 carats of certified rare-colour tourmaline, this stone offers collector-grade value in a category where comparable specimens are difficult to source at any price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tourmaline\"\u003eBrowse our full Ceylon Tourmaline collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ceylon-green-tourmaline-1-02ct-rectangle\"\u003eCompare: 1.02ct Ceylon Green Tourmaline Rectangle Cushion\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is brown tourmaline (dravite)?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown tourmaline belongs to the dravite species within the tourmaline mineral group.
