Tourmaline, a gemstone celebrated for its remarkable spectrum of colors, is a true marvel of the mineral world. From deep greens and vibrant pinks to rich blues and even multi-colored varieties, tourmaline offers an unparalleled range of hues. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, it's a durable gemstone suitable for a variety of jewelry applications. Its diverse color palette, often attributed to varying chemical compositions, makes each tourmaline unique. Notably, varieties like Paraíba tourmaline, with its intense neon blue, and watermelon tourmaline, displaying pink and green zones, are highly prized by collectors.
