Investment in Tourmaline?

Tourmaline is one of the most popular of gems among collectors, because it is usually affordable and has a variety of colours as mentioned above. They are good alternative to many expensive gemstones such as chrome tourmaline to tsavorite and emerald. The most popular ones are pink and red, however beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The colours are due to the complexity of chemical composition, which provide a range of colours to meet all fashion demand. Tourmaline crystals are often included and cloudy, which puts a premium on clean loupe gemstones, especially those over above 5 carats in size.
