Tourmalines are among the most fascinating gemstones in the world and are matched only by sapphires in the variety of colors in which they are found. In fact, the name “tourmaline” comes from the Singhalese term “tura mali,” which translates roughly to “stone with mixed colors.” These miraculous stones can even present different colors in the same crystal! Tourmalines also enjoy high popularity, with green tourmalines being among the most coveted. Those which exhibit such exceptional color and transparency, with so few inclusions as these, are among the rarest of gems.
