Experience the vibrant beauty and transformative impact of gemstone value addition with this 2.97-ct, ethically mined, deep-orange tourmaline, hand-cut in Kenya. Fashioned into a sophisticated emerald cut (10.02 x 6.17 x 5.6 mm), this lightly included gem radiates fiery color—making it an extraordinary focal point for any fine jewelry piece.
Unlike most gems that are exported as rough, this tourmaline was mined and expertly faceted in Kenya, ensuring exponential value returns to the source community. Cutting gemstones locally enables Kenyan miners and artisans—especially women and men employed in the sector—to earn up to five times more than for rough stones. When you choose this origin-cut orange tourmaline, you not only receive an exquisite gem but also contribute to fair employment and sustainable change in the jewelry supply chain.
