About the Item

Loose Tourmaline Weight: 8.15 Carats Dimension: 14.7x8.6x7.2 Mm Origin: Paprok Afghanistan Shape: Scissor Emerald Color: Pink & White Treatment: Non Loose tourmaline gemstones come in a dazzling array of colors, making them highly sought after in the world of gemstone enthusiasts and jewelry designers. Tourmaline, derived from the Sinhalese word "turmali," meaning mixed colors, aptly describes its characteristic spectrum. From vivid pinks and greens to deep blues and rich reds, tourmalines exhibit a remarkable range of hues. This gemstone's pleochroism, the ability to display different colors when viewed from different angles, adds to its allure. The most common varieties include Elbaite, Schorl, and Dravite, each distinguished by its unique color palette and mineral composition. Mining locations worldwide yield tourmaline, with notable deposits found in Brazil, Afghanistan, and the United States. The gemstone's popularity surged during the 18th century when it became a coveted choice for European monarchs and aristocracy. Gem cutters approach the shaping of loose tourmaline with precision to maximize its color intensity and brilliance. The cushion, oval, and emerald cuts are popular choices, accentuating the gem's natural beauty. Some collectors prefer untreated stones to preserve the authenticity of the tourmaline's color. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, tourmaline is believed to possess metaphysical properties, with different colors associated with various healing and protective attributes. Pink tourmaline, for example, is often linked to matters of the heart and emotional balance, while black tourmaline is thought to offer protection against negative energy. Whether set in an elegant necklace, a vibrant ring, or a pair of stunning earrings, loose tourmaline gemstones remain a captivating choice for those who appreciate the beauty and diversity found in the world of precious gems. Whether you're a collector, jeweler, or someone seeking a unique and meaningful piece, loose tourmaline provides a kaleidoscope of possibilities in the world of gemstone adornment.
