Green Tourmaline Necklace

A green tourmaline necklace can be made of many dazzling shades of green, ranging from green/blue to yellow/green to pure green. Known as verdelite, green tourmaline is one of the most popular gemstones used today in jewelry. With the many styles and designs of necklaces available, green tourmaline makes a wonderful accessory choice for a casual afternoon or for a night on the town.

The stones used to create necklaces of green tourmaline can be left natural or they can be heat treated. It is most common for this type of gemstone to be left in its natural state. However, when tourmaline is heated, the process deepens the natural color of the gemstone.

Tourmaline stones need to be cut at precise angles in order to create a polished mirror finish with maximum brilliance. Several of the more desired cuts for tourmaline include:

• Cabochon
• Star
• Rectangle
• Round
• Barion Square Cushion
• Barion Oval
• Barion Radiant
• Round Button
• Emerald
• Emerald Princess
• Oval
• Opposed Bar
• Modified Checkered Top
• Brilliant

Regardless of the cut, each green tourmaline has a look that is rich and magnificent.

One of the most elegant types of green tourmaline is known as chrome tourmaline. The color of this stone appears to be a pure forest green. Chrome tourmaline has the brilliant look of an emerald and is often referred to as a "Brazilian Emerald". An exquisite example of a chrome tourmaline necklace combined with diamonds, platinum and 18 karat yellow gold is shown by Jewelry Experts Bijoux Extraordinaire.
