Some colors are difficult to put into words – they need to be seen.
Light orange-pink is one of them. Not pink, not orange, but precisely in between: warm, fresh, with a luminosity that recalls an early summer evening. In a tourmaline of this size – 6.98 carats, nearly 12.3 × 12 mm across – this color develops a presence that is genuinely rare.
The octagonal cut, also known as an emerald cut, is the right choice for this stone. Its broad, composed facets don't trap the light – they let it travel evenly through the stone. The result is a color surface that glows uniformly, no hotspots, no dark corners, just that warm orange-pink tone from edge to edge. For a stone with exceptional color, this is exactly the right format.
Small inclusions are present. The stone also shows indications of moderate clarity enhancement with oil – a treatment that is well established in the gemstone trade and is clearly documented in the GLA certificate. Full transparency, no surprises.
6.98 carats in this color, in this format – this is a stone that deserves attention.
