Green tourmaline – Versatile light from stunning gemstones

Green tourmaline ranges in color from beautiful pale greens to stunning blues. This is an unusual gemstone in several ways. Like all tourmalines, it can be cut In almost any standard jewelry design, but this gemstone offers a very wide range of color and spectrum possibilities.

The mid-range blue and green spectrum is particularly useful for designers. These very elegant stones are ideal design elements in high-end jewelry. Unlike other blue and green gemstones, green tourmaline also has a level of transparency, refracting light very effectively.

This is an important design consideration. Many gemstones are famous for their interaction with light, like diamonds, but accompanying gemstones also need to display well, matching the diamonds. Not all gemstones can do this, but green tourmaline can.

Green tourmaline is also a standalone designer gemstone. The full spectrum of green tourmaline ranges from olive to deep blue. This is a very good mid-range spectrum, ideal for matching with gold and platinum law as a single designer piece.

Quality and price

Green tourmaline is best described as a professional designer’s gemstone. Quality is extremely important, it and quality considerations include everything from color to types of mineralization and crystal formation.

Due to availability, high demand, and the need to source very high quality gemstones, it's well worth your time to check out your buying options thoroughly. You will see a surprisingly wide range of prices for green tourmaline, even for smaller gemstones.

Green tourmaline prices vary considerably, and the price variations are based on quality. A 7 carat octagon gemstone at around $2500 is considered a good price.

Shopping for green tourmaline

As with all gemstones, best practice when shopping for green tourmaline is to build your knowledge base.
