Mint tourmalines are tourmalines with pastel hues of light green to blueish green or yellowish green. Tourmalines make up a huge family of gemstones.
Green and blue tourmaline are frequently heat-treated.
Tourmaline ranks 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. Its toughness is considered Fair.
Can tourmaline be worn everyday?
Tourmaline is suited for everyday wear, but with caution. It's not as durable as a Diamond, for example, so you may not want to choose it for an engagement ring. But you can certainly wear Tourmaline earrings or necklaces every day.
