GREEN TOURMALINE

GREEN TOURMALINE

Classified as semi-precious stone, Green Tourmaline (Verdelite) is a member of borosilicates with a very complex structure. Because of that complex structure of this gemstone, a green tourmaline exists in an almost endless number of varieties and colours depending on where it developed. It owes its precious green colour to the chrome it has in its structure. Its colour ranging from yellowish-green, olive green to brownish-green is extremely beautiful, and similar to emerald which is among the “Big Four” including diamond, ruby and sapphire. Its name of Verdelite is derived from the Latin 'viridis' (green) and the Greek suffix 'lith' (stone) words. The major deposits of the stone are located in Brazil, Namibia, Nigeria, Mozambique, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Green Tourmaline can be found in history with its ability to become electrically charged simply by heating or rubbing it. This property allows it to attract particles of dust or bits of paper, which was an attractive and useful feature used by Dutch traders of the 1700s to pull ashes from their pipes. That’s why it was being called as Aschentrekker meaning "ash puller." It is a belief that green tourmaline is the stone of Angel Nemamiah, an archangel. It is also known to fortify the nervous system and collect the negative energies in the body if it is worn as close as possible to the area of the heart chakra. It is the birthstone of Capricorn and August Birthstone on the zodiac birthstone list.
