A recent trend in the gem market is to prefix Tourmaline gemstones by the color designation as opposed to variety name, such that " Rubellite " is now more often called "Red Tourmaline".
The value of Tourmaline has a very large range. The more common forms can be fairly inexpensive, but the rarer and more exotic colors can command very high prices.
The most expensive and valuable form of Tourmaline is the rare neon-blue form known by the trade name Paraiba Tourmaline. Paraiba Tourmaline was first discovered in a gem pegmatite in the Brazilian state of Paraiba in This new Tourmaline became extremely popular in a very short time, and the cost for this rare Tourmaline became astronomically high due to short supply.
Small deposits of Tourmaline of similar color to Paraiba Tourmaline were also recently found in Nigeria and Mozambique, and these are often also called "Paraiba Tourmaline" in the gem trade.
Other valuable forms of Tourmaline are Chrome Tourmaline , an intense-green Tourmaline found in Tanzania, Rubellite , the pink to red variety, and Indicolite , the rare blue variety. Multicolored stones are truly a gemological wonder, as their beauty and uniqueness are unparalleled. An interesting form of multicolored tourmaline, adequately called Watermelon Tourmaline , has a red center surrounded by a green outer layer or vice versa.
When used as a gem, Watermelon Tourmaline is green on one side and red on the other. Schorl , a common black Tourmaline, is fairly inexpensive. All colored Tourmaline gems display pleochroism , meaning their color changes when viewed at different angles. In some Tourmaline gems, this effect is hardly noticeable, while in others it is strongly apparent. Gemstone cutters must take this into account when cutting a Tourmaline, so that the finished gem brings out its best color.
As mentioned above, virtually all Tourmaline gemstones are of the Elbaite type. Schorl , Dravite , and Liddicoatite are occasionally used as gemstones. Schorl , known as "Black Tourmaline" makes a dark, opaque, yet shiny black gemstone. Dravite is almost always brownish in color, and usually opaque. However, transparent forms do occasionally occur, and these can be used as rare brown gemstones. Dark brown Dravite may be heat-treated to lighten its dark color.
Liddicoatite occurs in a great variety of colors and in excellent multicolored forms, but is too rare to be used extensively as a gemstone. Tourmaline of all colors are faceted into gems for jewelry, but the red, green, blue, and multicolored stones, especially watermelon, are the most popular. Tourmaline can be found in fairly large transparent crystals, and these can produce very large exquisite and flawless gemstones.
Tourmaline is used as a large pendant stone, in bracelets, rings, and earrings. Lesser quality stones are cut into cabochon s, and are also polished into beads and used in bracelets and necklaces. Pink and green Tourmalines from certain localities contain tiny, parallel inclusion s, causing them to display a strong cat's eye effect when polished.
Such stones are often cut as cabochons and called " Cats' Eye Tourmaline ". Some pink, green, and multicolored Tourmalines are also carved into ornamental figures and carvings. Learn more You can quickly identify most gemstones by observing a few basic characteristics, like color and heft. If you want a more thorough, accurate identification, though, you will need to use special tools to examine the interior of the stone. To identify gemstones, get an identification chart you can reference.
The stone should not be malleable if it is a true gemstone. To check the quality of the stone, shine a light on the part of the stone with the best polish to check the shine or its luster. For information about how to determine if the stone is synthetic, keep reading! Did this summary help you? Yes No. Log in Social login does not work in incognito and private browsers.

This image may not be used by other entities without the express written consent of wikiHow, Inc. Invest in a gemstone identification chart. If you think you'll be identifying gemstones often, it would be in your best interest to invest in a printed chart or reference manual.
Look online for basic charts. If you only need to identify a gemstone on rare occasions, you might be able to manage the task by looking at individual gemstone identification charts online. These charts are much less detailed and less extensive, but they might work in a pinch. The Hiddenite Gems' gemstone identification chart can be used when you know color and hardness.
Part 2. Feel the stone's surface. A stone with a rough or sandy texture should not be identified as a gemstone. Check its malleability. A stone that is readily malleable—i. True gemstones have a crystalline structure.
This structure can be shaped through cutting, fracturing, and abrasion, but it has fixed planes that cannot be altered by pressure alone. Real gemstones don't get bend or reshaped, but they do break. Know which materials are not classified as gemstones. In particular, pearls and fossilized wood can be mistakenly classified as gemstones but do not fit the qualifications in the strictest sense of the term.
Watch out for synthetics. Synthetic stones share the same structure, chemical composition, and physical properties of their natural counterparts, but they are created in a lab rather than made naturally. Synthetic stones often have curved growth patterns inside the stone rather than angular growth patterns.
Platinum or gold platelets can stick to synthetic stones. Fingerprint-patterned inclusions are common in synthetics, as are nail-shaped inclusions, chevron v-shaped growth patterns, wispy veil-like inclusions, and interior columnar structures. Watch out for imitations. An imitation stone is a material that looks like a real gemstone upon first glance in spite of the fact that it is made of a completely different material.
Pay a special attention while checking Turquoise, Lapis, Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald because there are many treatments available in market which make the stones same like natural The surface of an imitation may look pitted and uneven, like an orange peel. Some imitations have swirl marks known as "flow lines. Determine whether or not the gemstone is an assembled stone.
Assembled stones are made of two or more materials. These stones may consist entirely of natural gems, but oftentimes, synthetic materials are mixed in. Look for differences in luster or for colored and colorless cement. Also look for the "red ring effect.
If you spot the red ring, you probably have an assembled stone. Part 3. Look at the color. The color of the gemstone is often your first clue. This component can be further divided into three parts: hue, tone, and saturation. Be as specific as possible. For instance, if a stone is a yellowish green, identify it as such instead of merely saying "red.
Determine whether the hue is warm yellow, orange, red or cool purple, blue, green. With warm colors, check the stone for brown tints. For cool colors, check the stone for gray tints. The more brown or gray you see, the less saturated the stone color is. Observe the transparency. Transparency describes how light filters through the gemstone.
A stone can be transparent, translucent, or opaque. Transparent stones are completely see-through example: diamonds. Translucent stones can be seen through, but some color or haze alters the image example: amethyst or aquamarine.
