GEMSTONE APPRAISAL / EVALUATION: Based on the characteristics of this Tourmaline, including its carat weight of 2.05, the distinctive color range of red-purple or purple-red, the premium handcrafted custom cushion rectangular cut, and unaffected by treatments, it is valued within the market at approximately USD 600 to USD 800. This estimation reflects its decent clarity of SI, strong saturation, and good finish and polish, which contributes to its overall appeal in the gemstone market.

As a natural gem, this Tourmaline can be considered a niche asset for the future, particularly due to its unique color and quality. However, while its value may appreciate modestly over time, it does not exhibit the megatrends often seen in more iconic gemstones, such as diamonds or colored sapphires. This stone might be better suited for personal enjoyment in jewelry, where its rare attributes can be beautifully showcased and appreciated daily, rather than serving purely as an investment vehicle.
