Green Tourmaline Tourmaline Gemstones

Green Tourmaline is regarded as the classical tourmaline color. If you ask a gemstone merchant about a tourmaline, green, in most cases, is the first color he will think of. However, even among the green colored tourmalines there is a broad spectrum. Some green tourmalines are very light green, others so dark that the green color can only be recognized when the stone is held against the light. There are green tourmalines in fine leek green hues, but also in intense yellowish green, olive green and brownish green nuances. Green tourmalines are very popular as precious colored stones among women, but many men wear green tourmaline too. Green Tourmaline has become a favorite in jewelry because it is available in so many shades. There are square, pear, trillion, cabochon, round, emerald cut, oval, cushion, and heart shaped cut loose green tourmalines in many color nuances. Green tourmaline is one of the most popular gems in the tourmaline gemstone family.
