Properties and Composition of Green Tourmaline

Green Tourmaline is part of a very diverse family of borosilicate aluminum combined with magnesium, iron, or other metals. Depending on the proportions of its components, tourmaline takes different colors like pink, red, yellow, brown, black, green, blue, or violet . Its colorful, thick, and columnar or vertically striated crystal may be long and slender and are triangular in cross-sections being transparent or opaque.

The green color in this gemstone is gotten from the impurities in chromium. Exposing the green tourmaline to sunlight brightens it hence making them look outstanding.

One of the tourmaline’s most distinctive properties is its ability to become electrically charged by simply rubbing vigorously with the palm or by heating it directly.

When charged, one of it ends becomes positively charged, while the other end takes the negative charge, allowing it to attract to itself light papers and dust. These properties were well known in the 1700s by the Dutch traders who made use of the tourmaline to remove ash from their meerschaum pipes, calling the stone “ash puller” or Aschentrekker.

As per geographical occurrences, green tourmaline is typically mined in Brazil, Namibia, Nigeria, Mozambique, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
