GREEN TOURMALINE

green, Mozambique
24 ct

Tourmaline has one of the widest colour ranges of any gem species, occurring in various shades of virtually every hue. Since the 1990’s, fascinating tourmalines were mined near the town of Mavuco in the Zambézia region of Mozambique. In the mine that produces the world famous blue and green Paraiba Tourmalines, this outstanding specimen was recently discovered. The absence of copper gives this gem a remarkable green colour rather like a Tsavorite green than a Tourmaline green. A rare collectable and unique beauty.
