1.20 TCW Tourmaline  green rectangular faceted natural gemstone.

Tourmaline on the Mohs hardness Scale is a 7-7.5 out of 10 making it quite durable and great for everyday wear and excellent for any jewellery design application.

Tourmaline is 'one' of the official Birthstones of October, and it shares this honour along with Opal. Tourmaline is also the accepted stone for the 8th wedding anniversary allowing the gifter a wide range of colour choices to select from when choosing a gem for this special day!

Once proposed to be the national gemstone of the United States, tourmaline is found all over the world and in a variety of colours. Tourmaline is the most colourful of all gemstones because, according to an ancient Egyptian legend, it passed through a rainbow on its journey to Earth and brought all of the colours of the rainbow with it. Tourmaline is a mineral group comprised of multiple species of complex borosilicate's. Lovingly referred to by mineralogists as the garbage can mineral, its crystal structure allows for the incorporation of a wide range of elements, many of which cause the stunning colour varieties and spectacular zoning of tourmaline, including copper, manganese, iron, and titanium. Major tourmaline species include liddicoatite, dravite, uvite, schorl, and elbaite.
