The best Tourmalines come from Brazil which is the leading source of Tourmalines. Brazil is known for producing nearly every color. Brazilian stones are generally more expensive and have stronger color saturations.

BLUE Tourmaline

Blue Tourmalines are very rare, uniquely beautiful and are some of the most valuable Tourmalines. The light blue version is called “Indicolite”. Its shimmering shades are like the flow of water. In crystal healing it is believed that the blue Tourmaline is used to activate the Throat chakra to open your communication channels. It is an encouraging stone, helping you gather your courage and speak the truth.

GREEN Tourmaline (Verdelite)

Green is regarded as the classical Tourmaline color. There are especially wonderful Tourmalines in the range of blue green to dark bottle green. The bottle-green comes almost exclusively from Brazil and they are often referred to as “Brazilian Tourmaline”. These are the best colors. They are rare and much sought after. A Spanish Knight believed he had unearthed an Emerald in Brazil, but it turned out to be a variety of a glowing green Tourmaline. In crystal healing it is believed that the green Tourmaline opens the heart, allowing it to perceive what the Third Eye chakra visualizes, teaches compassion.

PINK Tourmaline

Brazilian pink Tourmaline showcases a gorgeous cocktail of fuchsia, magenta and roseate pinks. The pink Tourmaline is a stone of love and compassion.

SALMON Tourmaline

With little to no inclusion they are globally scarce, but even more so from the heavily worked Aracuai Gem Fields in Brazil.

YELLOW to BROWN Tourmaline (dravites)

The Dravite Tourmalines come in colors from dark orange-brown to a yellow color. The most famous yellow Tourmaline is called “Canary” after the canary bird found in the wild. It is believed that the yellow Tourmaline promotes creativity and mental clarity and is also thought to be helpful for those who suffer from anxiety or depression.
