Tourmaline naturally occurs in a myriad of stunning colours  and  is rarely found  colourless.  As with other gemstone  families, the presence of different chemicals during the time the gem was  crystallising  has provided Tourmaline with an array of spectacular colours. When a deep, vivid green, they are often rich in chromium and are sometimes named Chrome Tourmaline. Iron-rich Tourmalines are normally black to deep brown and magnesium-rich varieties can occur in a yellowish brown colour.  Lithium-rich Tourmalines come in a rainbow of  colours.

Tourmaline is pleochroic, which means you can see different  colours  when viewed from different angles. As well as being pleochroic, the crystals may grow to be green at one end and pink at the other: this variety is called Bi- Coloured Tourmaline. When found with green on the outside and pink inside, they are known as Watermelon Tourmaline.
