Green Tourmaline
Green tourmaline, also known as verdelite, is a type of gemstone that is naturally coloured green. It is made up of the mineral tourmaline and is prized for its bright, vibrant green colour. Green tourmaline is often used in jewellery as a way to add a pop of colour to a piece. It is also believed to have healing properties and is sometimes worn as a way to promote health and well-being.
Green tourmaline is rated on the "Four Cs" scale to determine its value. The "Four Cs" are cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight. Green tourmaline is typically graded on a scale from poor to excellent based on the intensity of its colour, the presence of inclusions or blemishes, and the quality of its cut. Green tourmaline with a more intense, uniform colour and fewer inclusions or blemishes is generally more valuable.
Green tourmaline can be found in a variety of cuts and shapes, including round, oval, cushion, pear, and emerald. It is often used as an accent stone in jewellery, such as in halo engagement rings or as side stones in earrings or pendants. Green tourmaline can also be used as the main stone in a piece of jewellery, particularly when paired with diamonds or other coloured gemstones.

FAQs
How are green tourmalines graded and valued?
When it comes to grading and valuing green tourmalines, colour, clarity, cut, carat weight, and origin are the key factors to consider. A rich, deep green colour is highly desirable, with the intensity and saturation of the green colour playing a role. Clarity is also important, with a clear stone that is free from inclusions or blemishes being more valuable. Cut is another factor, where a well-cut stone with good symmetry and proportion will have better light performance and brilliance. Carat weight, which refers to the size of the stone, also plays a role, with larger stones generally being more valuable.
How do I clean and care for a green tourmaline to keep it looking its best?
To clean and care for a green tourmaline, it is best to handle it with care and avoid exposing it to harsh conditions or chemicals. Clean it using a mild soap and warm water, make sure to rinse it thoroughly, and dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners or steamers, as these can damage the gemstone. Store it in a safe place, away from other gemstones or jewellery that may scratch or chip it. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity. By following these steps, you can help keep your green tourmaline looking its best and ensure that it stays in good condition for years to come.
What is the best way to protect a green tourmaline gemstone?
Avoid exposing your green tourmaline to harsh chemicals, such as bleach or chlorine. These can damage the surface of the stone or cause it to fade. Remove your green tourmaline jewellery before participating in activities that could cause damage to the stone, such as sports or manual labor. Store your green tourmaline away from other gemstones to prevent scratching or damage. You can wrap the stone in a soft cloth or place it in a separate compartment in your jewellery box.
How do I choose the right green tourmaline for an engagement ring or other piece of jewellery?
When choosing a green tourmaline for an engagement ring or other piece of jewellery, there are a few key factors to consider. The colour of the gemstone is the most important factor, with the most sought-after colour being a deep, rich green. The clarity of the stone, which refers to the presence of inclusions or blemishes, also plays a role in determining its value. A clear stone with minimal inclusions will be more valuable than a stone with visible inclusions. The cut of the stone, which refers to the symmetry and proportions of the gemstone, also affects its value. A well-cut stone will have better light performance and brilliance. The carat weight, which refers to the size of the stone, also plays a role in determining its value, with larger stones generally being more valuable.
How does green tourmaline compare to other green gemstones, such as emeralds or peridots?
Green tourmaline is a green gemstone that is known for its vibrant colour and durability. It is different from other green gemstones such as emeralds and peridots in terms of colour, rarity, durability and price. Emeralds are highly valued for their rich green colour and rarity but they are more expensive and fragile. Peridots are less expensive and more durable than emeralds but their colour is not as deep as emeralds. Green tourmaline is less expensive than emeralds and it can have a similar colour as peridot, with a range of shades of green. It is considered to be an alternative to emeralds and peridots because of its durability, colour and cost.
Can green tourmalines be worn with other gemstones or diamonds in the same piece of jewellery?
Yes, green tourmalines can be worn with other gemstones or diamonds in the same piece of jewellery. Many people choose to pair green tourmalines with other colourful gemstones, such as sapphires or rubies, to create a vibrant and eye-catching look. You can also mix and match different types of tourmalines, such as green tourmalines, and pink tourmalines, to create a unique and stylish look. Just be sure to consider the hardness of the different gemstones and choose a setting that will protect them from damage.
