The gemstone’s versatility allows you to select a hue that best matches your personal style and preference.

Green tourmaline generally possess good clarity, often better than that of emeralds, which are known for their natural inclusions. This means that green tourmaline stones are often more transparent and have fewer visible flaws, giving them a bright and clean appearance.
