FAQs

How are green tourmalines graded and valued?

When it comes to grading and valuing green tourmalines, colour, clarity, cut, carat weight, and origin are the key factors to consider. A rich, deep green colour is highly desirable, with the intensity and saturation of the green colour playing a role. Clarity is also important, with a clear stone that is free from inclusions or blemishes being more valuable. Cut is another factor, where a well-cut stone with good symmetry and proportion will have better light performance and brilliance. Carat weight, which refers to the size of the stone, also plays a role, with larger stones generally being more valuable.

How do I clean and care for a green tourmaline to keep it looking its best?

To clean and care for a green tourmaline, it is best to handle it with care and avoid exposing it to harsh conditions or chemicals. Clean it using a mild soap and warm water, make sure to rinse it thoroughly, and dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners or steamers, as these can damage the gemstone. Store it in a safe place, away from other gemstones or jewellery that may scratch or chip it. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity. By following these steps, you can help keep your green tourmaline looking its best and ensure that it stays in good condition for years to come.

What is the best way to protect a green tourmaline gemstone?

Avoid exposing your green tourmaline to harsh chemicals, such as bleach or chlorine. These can damage the surface of the stone or cause it to fade.

Store your green tourmaline away from other gemstones to prevent scratching or damage. You can wrap the stone in a soft cloth or place it in a separate compartment in your jewellery box.

How do I choose the right green tourmaline for an engagement ring or other piece of jewellery?

When choosing a green tourmaline for an engagement ring or other piece of jewellery, there are a few key factors to consider. The colour of the gemstone is the most important factor, with the most sought-after colour being a deep, rich green. The clarity of the stone, which refers to the presence of inclusions or blemishes, also plays a role in determining its value. A clear stone with minimal inclusions will be more valuable than a stone with visible inclusions. The cut of the stone, which refers to the symmetry and proportions of the gemstone, also affects its value. A well-cut stone will have better light performance and brilliance. The carat weight, which refers to the size of the stone, also plays a role in determining its value, with larger stones generally being more valuable.
