Sourced from Sri Lanka's storied gem deposits, this stone radiates the warm, saturated pink that makes tourmaline one of the most sought-after coloured gemstones in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePink tourmaline at over 5 carats with this level of colour intensity is genuinely uncommon.

Sri Lankan tourmaline is valued for its vivid colour saturation, a result of the island's unique pegmatite geology that concentrates trace elements responsible for tourmaline's extraordinary colour range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lanka Gem Lab (LGL) has examined this stone and confirmed its natural origin, tourmaline species, and quality characteristics.
