Black Tourmaline

There is the opaque black Tourmaline, also called schörl, which contains a very elegant beauty. A variant of this is Tourmaline Quartz, a translucent rock crystal in which 'needles' of black tourmaline are set.
The Watermelon Tourmaline is also a gem in itself. The name is of course not given for nothing, because indeed, the edge of the stone has the color green, just like the skin of a real watermelon and the core is reddish/red.
The Tourmaline in gradient colors are also pleasing to the eye. This gives a nice effect, especially in the rough version. For example, you see stones that color from blue to yellow, or from green to yellow. It is unimaginable that these combinations of colors can occur in one gemstone, that is truly unique!
The green tourmaline or also called verdelite in technical jargon is very popular, but the most popular tourmaline among the experts is the bright blue or indigolite, this translucent stone has such a pure beauty and shine in color that once processed in a jewelery becomes a real eye-catcher.
The special tourmalines are 'Turkish Cup', where the top is red and the 'Moorkopje', where the top is black.
