About the Item

Loose Seafoam Tourmaline Weight: 12.00 Carats Dimension: 13.4 x 12.7 x 9.2 Mm Colour: Blue Origin: Afghanistan Certificate: On Demand Treatment: Non Tourmaline is a captivating gemstone known for its remarkable variety of colors, making it a favorite among gemstone enthusiasts and jewelry designers alike. It belongs to a complex group of minerals with similar crystal structures but varying chemical compositions, resulting in a diverse range of hues. One of the most fascinating aspects of tourmaline is its pleochroism, which means it can exhibit different colors when viewed from different angles. This property adds depth and intrigue to tourmaline gemstones, captivating the eye with its ever-changing shades. Tourmaline's color spectrum spans almost every hue imaginable, from vibrant reds, pinks, and oranges to deep blues, greens, and even colorless varieties. Some tourmalines display multiple colors within a single crystal, creating mesmerizing patterns and color combinations. The gem's name is derived from the Singhalese word "turamali," which translates to "stone with mixed colors," reflecting its diverse color palette. Tourmaline deposits are found in various parts of the world, including Brazil, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and the United States, each producing unique specimens with distinct characteristics. One of the most prized varieties of tourmaline is the rare and valuable Paraíba tourmaline, named after the Brazilian state where it was first discovered in the late 1980s. Renowned for its vivid neon blue to green colors, Paraíba tourmaline commands high prices in the gemstone market due to its scarcity and intense hues. In addition to its beauty, tourmaline is believed to possess metaphysical properties and healing energies by different cultures throughout history. It is thought to promote creativity, attract love and friendship, and provide protection against negative energies. Jewelry designers often incorporate tourmaline into their creations due to its versatility and availability in various shapes and sizes. Whether used as a focal point in a statement piece or as accent stones in intricate designs, tourmaline adds a unique touch of color and elegance to any jewelry ensemble. Overall, tourmaline's mesmerizing beauty, diverse color range, and cultural significance make it a beloved gemstone cherished by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts worldwide. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate generation after generation, ensuring its enduring popularity in the world of gemstones.
