The name Green Tourmaline is thought to come from the Sinhalese "turmali", meaning "mixed". In fact, the colors of Tourmaline are many and with a thousand shades; for this reason it is confused with other stones. Tourmaline species differ according to color and acquire value based on the quality and rarity of the gem. The rarest types are Paraiba and Chromium-Tourmaline. For example, the color of Indicolite ranging from aquamarine to blue is created by the iron or copper ions, even if the presence of manganese accentuates a green hue. The bright blue ones are the most precious stones. Rubellite and Indicolite are the most prized varieties. The color of Rubellite is a red that can vary up to light pink or intense pink; it is much appreciated and often compared in beauty to the ruby which in any case is really a precious stone, like the diamond, the sapphire and the emerald. The pink-red colors of Rubellite usually have more inclusions than Indicolite such as amethyst. Verdelite, a green stone, is the green tourmaline that goes from yellow-green to petrol blue but can also be black in some places. Dravite is a stone that has a very distinctive brown color and is rarely found. Chromium-Tourmaline is a green tourmaline, whose intensity is created by the presence of chromium and vanadium in the stone. For this it differs from Verdelite; it is of greater value, more beautiful and rare and has a higher price. Paraiba is also quite rare, it has a very bright blue-green color due to the presence of copper. The first samples were found in the Brazilian Paraiba field and it has a very high price. Other stones with the same characteristics have also been found in Mozambique and Nigeria.

Green tourmaline and crystal therapy: the acts of purification and charge of gems and stones
When you buy a new stone or have it as a gift, it is always good to purify it, so that it can fully activate its properties. To purify the green tourmaline, salt, water, Bach flowers and sunlight should be avoided. To charge it in crystal therapy we recommend the moonlight, the earth, the pyramid, the tips of hyaline quartz or rock crystal. Sunlight is also not recommended for charging. The stones can be "recharged", leaving them in the open air in the sun or the moon. The stones to be recharged in the sun are the yellow, orange, red, white or transparent ones: it is advisable to expose them to the sun in the early morning or late afternoon, not in direct sunlight. In fact, purple and pink crystals, such as amethyst with its many shades, could lose their color under the strong sun. Instead, blue, purple and green stones such as green tourmaline should be exposed to moonlight like pearls and other gems of these shades, such as sapphire and opal, throughout the night, especially if the moon is full. Other stones, especially the pink and white ones, can be purified with running water, preferably stream or tap water, but filtered or from a source fed by an underground aquifer. Another more invasive purification technique is to soak the stones in a solution of distilled water and sea salt or baking soda, apple cider vinegar, salt and distilled water. However, it is good not to take any risks and check if your stone can stand it. This mixture is effective but could ruin the stone and change its color, particularly if the stone is black, deep green, or even deep pink.
However, the stones should always be rinsed well after treatment. If it is believed that their energy has been somewhat damaged, you can place them under the ground for a day or purify them with burning incense or sandalwood essences. The crystal can also be recharged on a pile of rock crystals or amethyst throughout the day. With this method, crystal therapy experts believe that you can purify and charge the stones together at the same time. This stone is more suitable for men, women should not wear it, as the masculine nature of the stone could crush the feminine one, causing disharmony.
