AfricaGems Vast Selection of Fine Loose Tourmaline Gemstones of all Varieties
Loose faceted tourmaline gemstones, the birthstone for October, are AfricaGems second best selling gemstone in the finer qualities. The famous Paraiba Tourmaline, Blue green tourmaline, rubelite tourmaline, pink tourmaline, raspberry tourmaline, parti-color tourmaline, chrome tourmalines and other unique colored Tourmalines are our specialties. Tourmaline, due to its unique gemological properties, comes in every hue and tone of the color spectrum. Many tourmaline gemstone collectors have hundreds of tourmalines, all of different colors and hues! Slight differences in color tone and hue can make a large difference in evaluating a loose tourmaline gemstone. The most famous of all tourmaline gems is the Paraiba tourmalines of Paraiba state in Brazil. Fine gems in 5 carat sizes command incredible colors in the Windex or teal blue color. Prices can reach over $ 20,000 per carat! However, many very fine quality tourmaline gemstones of incredible beauty can be bought at very reasonable prices. Tourmaline is produced in gem quality in many countries of the world. Mozambique has recently become an important producer, with a new discovery of Paraiba like tourmalines with similar chemical composition to its Brazilian cousin. Some dealers and gemological laboratories have called these tourmalines “Paraiba”, although some debate has occurred about this. This is one of the finest collections of tourmalines available anywhere. All of these loose tourmaline gemstones were purchased in the rough state and cut to perfection here in the USA by my experienced cutters to maximize brilliance and beauty-not weight!
