Varieties of tourmaline
In the modern world, it is not storytellers who describe precious stones, but mineralogy and gemology. Science speaks differently about tourmaline. Mineralogy determines stone varieties based on their chemical composition and physical properties. Gemology emphasizes clarity and color.
Mineralogy classifies most tourmalines used in the jewelry industry as elbaites and some other varieties of boron-containing aluminosilicates.
Elbaite
Found on the island of Elba (Italy). Characterized by high sodium and lithium content. It exhibits polychrome and can be red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue and uncolored.
Tourmaline Elbaite
Liddicoatite
A variety of elbaite containing calcium. Due to the presence of a dark-colored area, in ancient times it was called the “Moor’s head”; the modern name was given in honor of gemologist Richard Liddicoat. Rarely seen. Color - brownish, light brown, pink-red, soft shades of green and blue.

Dravit
Dravite is elbaite with an admixture of sodium and magnesium. Named after the Slovenian Drava River, on the banks of which it was first found. It is distinguished by yellow tones in the color of the crystal. It can be yellow-green, yellow-brown, brown and even black, opaque.

Rubellites
Rubellites are tourmalines of pink, pinkish-crimson and various shades of red. The external resemblance to ruby became the reason for the similarity in names. Excellent rubellites were once mined in the Urals. The largest red tourmalines come from Brazil. Rubellites from Sri Lanka, Madagascar and California are of high quality.

Indigolite
Indigolites are blue and greenish-blue tourmalines, the brightness of which is muted by a gray tint. Indigolite crystals are often uneven in color: the blue area can smoothly flow into blue with turquoise, and then turn into grayish-blue. This property of indigolite is explained by the random distribution of di- and trivalent iron ions in the stone mass.
Indigolite
Polychrome tourmalines
There are also colorless varieties of tourmaline - the so-called achroites, but the most interesting are polychrome (multicolor) tourmalines.
Polychrome tourmalines exhibit colors that are fused together, but not mixed. “Watermelon” tourmalines have a massive red area contrasting with a thin green border. The opposite combination - a green mass with a small red “cap” - is called the “Turk’s head”, since Turkish fezzes are red.
Watermelon tourmaline
Delightfully beautiful polychrome tourmalines with delicate transitions from golden yellow to grassy green; from red to colorless and pinkish-blue; from light brown through transparent yellow to deep green.
