GREEN TOURMALINE

Categorised as semi-precious stone, green tourmaline is a part of the borosilicates group having an elaborate chemical structure. Because of the intricate construction of this gem, determined by where it is found, an green tourmaline exists in an almost infinite amounts of beautiful colours and varieties, which range from yellowish green, olive green to brownish-green – similar to emerald. It owes its magnificent green colour to the chrome that it contains in its structure. Another name for Green Tourmaline is Verdelite which originates from the Latin 'viridis' (green) plus the Greek suffix 'lith' (stone) words. The main deposits of the gemstone can be found in Afghanistan, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Brazil, and Pakistan.

Based on history, Green Tourmaline has the ability to become electrically-charged just by heating or rubbing it. This characteristic enables it to attract particles of dust or pieces of paper, which is a useful feature used by Dutch dealers of the 1700s to pull ashes from their pipes. This is exactly why it was called Aschentrekker, meaning "ash puller." It is a belief that green tourmaline is the gem of an archangel, Angel Nemamiah. It's the birthstone of Capricorn and August Birthstone.
