Description

  • Multicolor Graduated Tourmaline rondelles 2x4mm on 16-inch strand
  • Tourmaline has a wider variation in colors than any other gemstone and many of them are on display here including gradations from light to dark for each color.
  • Watermelon tourmaline includes both the pink (Rubelite) and green (Chromdravite) varieties in this strand.
  • The clearer the stones and the more precise the cutting, the higher the value. These are higher value stones and better cut than those in JSD-646. The price is also correspondingly higher.
  • Tourmalines can also be yellow, brown (aka Dravite), blue (aka Indicolite), violet or black
  • The stones are most likely from Sri Lanka, which is also the source of the name turmali , which became Tourmaline.
  • Brazil is currently the most important source of tourmalines, but they are also found in the US, Africa, Madagascar and Russia.
  • With its many varieties and capacity to become electrically charged when rubbed, tourmaline is one of the most important mineral groups for metaphysical use.
  • Only one available from the collection of Joyce Diamanti, bead researcher, writer, editor and educator
