Tourmaline Stone: gemstone prices, colors, crystal phenomenon's & imitations

[@MichalGlowacz86]

Tourmalines are sometimes underappreciated, probably because they are often used as a budget replacement for more expensive stones. But their own colour range is unmatched. Like those hot pink ones that you can sometimes get with both orange and purple glow? Absolutely stunning! Waiting for your Paraiba meterial.

[@DominiqueFlux]

Yes the paraiba deserve their own video!

[@ChristopherDyer-u4h]

I have some beautiful tourmaline in most colours and some big the majority VVS/eye clean. It is as another mentioned a very underrated stone. The tones of blue tourmaline (indicolite) can range from pale to almost cornflower.

Thank you so much for your great lesson! It was so informative and helpful for everybody.

[@DominiqueFlux]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ozone474]

I always look forward to seeing your FAB videos! Would love to see one on the beryl family or even quartz varieties 😍🥰✨

[@nicholaspearson4246]

I just discovered this channel and really love it...for the valuable information and for the very fun commentary of the two lovely lady experts. I have been a collector of gem crystals since age twelve. I am now /9.

[@DominiqueFlux]

@nicholaspearson4246 thanks for the kind feedback I'm happy you're enjoying it :)

[@metatron1980]

I always learn new things from Lauriane. Thank you for having her all the time Dominique. More videos please

[@DominiqueFlux]

Glad you like them!

[@metatron1980]

@@DominiqueFlux I do, I really enjoy your conversation with Lauriane Lognay. I even added her in my IG account. She is very nice. I thank you Dominique for having these vlogs because you have shared and many people around the world learned sooo much.

[@metatron1980]

I wish you can have another episodes about Lab grown rubies and sapphires. I do not want to shell a hell load of money for rubies and sapphire like thousands and thousands, I find it more practical for Lab grown and enjoying its inclusion free gemstone rather than habing natural earth mined with lots of inclusions and struggling to find a high quality that you have to spend sooo much only a a carat or two

[@SingheAli]

Informative. Keep uploading more videos. God Bless you!

[@DominiqueFlux]

Thank you!

[@rustysz1064]

Please show the stones! We can't see anything when you just wave the box around.

[@prettybird1978]

I watched this yesterday. My tourmaline collection is getting a little out of hand. I did just add a bright neon green pariaba type from Mozambique today. I just love tourmaline!

[@DominiqueFlux]

Hahaha I love that! Very cool you have so many!

[@leenahammad1491]

Thank you so very much. Informative and enjoyable. Would love to see a video about Topaz, Imperial topaz, london blue and any other color and variety of Topaz. Thanks.

[@DominiqueFlux]

Great suggestion!

[@prettybird1978]

When you do your pariaba video, could you please discuss how the difference in color and inclusions affects the price.

[@DominiqueFlux]

Yes for sure! It will be an exclusive deep dive just for Paraiba so we will cover everything!

[@donmacquarrie9161]

@@DominiqueFlux your guest was awesome - great job!

[@Prickly-Brew]

This is what I’ve been looking for. I recently gambled on a massive tourmaline matrix cluster 35 some pounds and the gamble paid off. I would truly love to get your opinion on it. I think origins Madagascar or Brazil.

[@donmacquarrie9161]

great info - one of the best summaries I've seen! I wish you mentions cat's eyes though

[@DominiqueFlux]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@elohelreh]

marvelous series!!

[@DominiqueFlux]

Thank you!

[@gavinalderman4428]

Got a lovely 2.95 carat eye clean olive-y pine green tourmaline, emerald cut. I think itll make a great stone for a signet ring 🤩

[@DominiqueFlux]

Very nice!

[@BrilliantDominance]

Why didn’t you say indicolite for the blue but used “sapphire” blue?

[@GeoRockNerd]

That’s what I was wondering too, indicolite is my favorite! And they didn’t mention dravite or petrol - yellow/gold/brown, verdelite - green, achroite - colorless etc. In geology we differentiate more than in gemology, I guess.

[@donmacquarrie9161]

because names for gemstones are REALLY important for marketing and retailing them.....some people won't buy Zircon because they immediately think of "fake" diamonds or cubic zirconias....ppl won't buy Zoisite because it sounds similar to "suicide"-so it's renamed "tanzenite".....The problem with the name Indicolite is that most ppl don't know what that is - whereasif you say "sapphire" blue tourmaline - their ears perk up instantly

[@Jackaroo.]

@@donmacquarrie9161 that’s a good explanation. Indicolite is growing in notoriety though so it will probably be more recognizable to people as time goes by.

[@ritacorea5474]

Do these gems wear well? Scratch?

[@QuadDerrick]

You saw someone on ebay selling glass with sharpie on it ? Gemologist's do not do eye sight identifications usually.

[@main_frame]

Thanks for sharing I learned alot !

[@DominiqueFlux]

Glad it was helpful!

Can you talk about Mayan tourmaline?

[@Tokebiangie]

How about brown, orange ish color?

[@PradeepSoni-tl7yu]

So.... Beautiful....🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@DominiqueFlux]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@gustavogu7733]

Indicolite is my favorite

[@AungAung-kw6lo]

And the price for black Tourmaline?please I want to know.

[@DominiqueFlux]

It's probably around 25-50$ a carat, it's inexpensive

[@Jackaroo.]

Love tourmaline :D

[@yarednigussu4954]

What about indicolite tourmaline

[@Anukrishna1438]

What is the price of natural white top quality tourmlin 10 carat

[@donmacquarrie9161]

It all depends on cut color clarity. pure clear tourmaline is extremely rare -however the retail market price suffers because white gem stones are always compared and graded second rate to diamonds.

[@ignacioaguilar9557]

And the prices for pink/green tourmaline?

[@Jackaroo.]

200 to 400 a carat. Higher if it is a larger stone, 4 carats or more.

[@yarednigussu4954]

You are not talking about tourmalines if you don't mention Nigerian tourmalines. Nigeria is a large producer of higher quality tourmalines to the world gem market

[@rainbowstar2775]

5:45 that's not really an attractive paraiba tourmaline color I doubt it is worth $30,000 dollars not even a few thousand dollars.
