Tourmalines are sometimes underappreciated, probably because they are often used as a budget replacement for more expensive stones. But their own colour range is unmatched. Like those hot pink ones that you can sometimes get with both orange and purple glow? Absolutely stunning! Waiting for your Paraiba meterial.

Yes the paraiba deserve their own video!

I have some beautiful tourmaline in most colours and some big the majority VVS/eye clean. It is as another mentioned a very underrated stone. The tones of blue tourmaline (indicolite) can range from pale to almost cornflower.

Thank you so much for your great lesson! It was so informative and helpful for everybody.

I wish you can have another episodes about Lab grown rubies and sapphires. I do not want to shell a hell load of money for rubies and sapphire like thousands and thousands, I find it more practical for Lab grown and enjoying its inclusion free gemstone rather than habing natural earth mined with lots of inclusions and struggling to find a high quality that you have to spend sooo much only a a carat or two

Love tourmaline :D

👍 very good video very nice stones

Why didn’t you say indicolite for the blue but used “sapphire” blue?

@GeoRockNerd

2 ай бұрын

That’s what I was wondering too, indicolite is my favorite! And they didn’t mention dravite or petrol - yellow/gold/brown, verdelite - green, achroite - colorless etc. In geology we differentiate more than in gemology, I guess.

because names for gemstones are REALLY important for marketing and retailing them.....some people won't buy Zircon because they immediately think of "fake" diamonds or cubic zirconias....ppl won't buy Zoisite because it sounds similar to "suicide"-so it's renamed "tanzenite".....The problem with the name Indicolite is that most ppl don't know what that is - whereasif you say "sapphire" blue tourmaline - their ears perk up instantly

@@donmacquarrie9161 that’s a good explanation. Indicolite is growing in notoriety though so it will probably be more recognizable to people as time goes by.

great info - one of the best summaries I've seen! I wish you mentions cat's eyes though

I watched this yesterday. My tourmaline collection is getting a little out of hand. I did just add a bright neon green pariaba type from Mozambique today. I just love tourmaline!

Hahaha I love that! Very cool you have so many!

You saw someone on ebay selling glass with sharpie on it ? Gemologist's do not do eye sight identifications usually.

Got a lovely 2.95 carat eye clean olive-y pine green tourmaline, emerald cut. I think itll make a great stone for a signet ring 🤩

This is what I’ve been looking for. I recently gambled on a massive tourmaline matrix cluster 35 some pounds and the gamble paid off. I would truly love to get your opinion on it. I think origins Madagascar or Brazil.

When you do your pariaba video, could you please discuss how the difference in color and inclusions affects the price.

What is the price of natural white top quality tourmlin 10 carat

@donmacquarrie9161

2 ай бұрын

It all depends on cut color clarity. pure clear tourmaline is extremely rare -however the retail market price suffers because white gem stones are always compared and graded second rate to diamonds.

If i have land where you can mine the tourmaline, would you be interested in investing?

And the prices for pink/green tourmaline?

@Jackaroo.

4 ай бұрын

200 to 400 a carat. Higher if it is a larger stone, 4 carats or more.

Any body interested on below gemstones. I bought a land in African and I discover below gemstones and gold 1]zircon 2] tourmaline 3] garnets 4] green tourmaline 5]sapphire 6]tsavorits 7] amethyst 8] spinel 9]Quartz 10]Peridot 11]Gold

5:45 that's not really an attractive paraiba tourmaline color I doubt it is worth $30,000 dollars not even a few thousand dollars.
